Saijiki 1973

Directed by Michio Okabe

A unique road movie that took two years to make, based on the concept of "filming the changing seasons like a haiku poem". The men's journey, consisting of four parts - The Wandering Vampire, Yuugyo, The Lonely Journey and Habodashi Yakusha Hoboki - creates a surreal alternate world amidst the beauty of nature. The cast includes Sotobayama Fumiaki of the underground theatre company Harumidashi Gekijo, folk singer Mikami Hiroshi, Zero Dimensional, Oe Masanori and many others.
