<span class="q">How did you manage to track all of these down? Did most of your viewing take place in Japan, and were most of the films un-subtitled in English? I'm quite impressed.</span><br><br>

<br><br>Furusato no uta / The Song of Home (1925)<br>Tokyo koshin-kyoku / Tokyo March (1929)<br>Taki no shiraito / The Water Magician (1933)<br>Orizuru Osen / The Downfall of Osen (1935)<br>Maria no Oyuki / Oyuki the Virgin (1935)
<br>Gubijinsô / Poppies (1935)<br>Naniwa erejî / Osaka Elegy (1936)<br>Gion no shimai / Sisters of the Gion (1936)<br>Aien kyo / The Straits of Love and Hate (1937)<br>Zangiku monogatari / The Story of the Late Chrysanthemums (1939)
<br>Genroku chushingura / The 47 Ronin (1941)<br>Miyamoto Musashi / Musashi Miyamoto (1944)<br>Meito bijomaru / The Famous Sword Bijomaru (1945)<br>Josei no shôri / The Victory of Women (1946)<br>Utamaro o meguru gonin no onna / Five Women Around Utamaro (1946)
<br>Joyû Sumako no koi / The Love of Sumako the Actress (1947)<br>Yoru no onnatachi / Women of the Night (1948)<br>Waga koi wa moenu / My Love Has Been Burning (1949)<br>Yuki fujin ezu / Portrait of Madame Yuki (1950)<br>

<br>Sanshô dayû / Sansho the Bailiff (1954)<br>Uwasa no onna / The Woman in the Rumor (1954)<br>Chikamatsu monogatari / The Crucified Lovers (1954)<br>Yôkihi / Empress Yang Kwei Fei (1955)<br>Shin heike monogatari / Legend of the Taira Clan (1955)
<br>Akasen chitai / Street of Shame (1956) A<br><br>I seem to recall that at least part of Fujiwara Yoshie no furusato (1930)<br>survives. -- and also some of the non-Mizoguchi portions of the 1929 "Asahi<br>no kagayaku" still exist and were included on the recent Japanese DVD of
<br>"Yuki" (is anything left of Mizoguchi's work on this).<br><br>Is there anything else out there anyone knows about? And does anyone have any<br>idea on how to track down a copy of Fujiwara Yoshie no furusato (assuming it
<br>does, in fact, exist).<br><br>Oh -- and I wonder why Shochiku is releasing a DVD of "Bijomaru" and not the<br>(IMHO) better Miyamoto Musashi?<br><br>(Also still trying to track down more Naruse). ;~}<br><br>
