Can anyone on the list verify the year of release for the Nemuri Kyoshiro
series of films?  The IMDb has different dates from my other single source
at hand, Alain Silver's THE SAMURAI FILM.  As Silver's dates are
consistently earlier than the IMDb's, I suspect a problem other than mere
accident.  The films are:

Nemuri Kyoshiro (1957-IMDb, no listing-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro: Buraihikae (1957-IMDb, no listing-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro: Maken jigoku (1958-IMDb, no listing-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 1: Sappocho (1966-IMDb, no listing-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 2: Sh?bu (1966-IMDb, 1962-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro buraiken (1966-IMDb, no listing-Silver) (almost certainly
same as #8 below)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 3: Engetsugiri (1967-IMDb, 1966-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 4: Joyoken (1967-IMDb, 1964-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 5: Enjo-ken (1967-IMDb, no listing-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 6: Masho-ken (1968-IMDb, 1965-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 7: Tajo-ken (1968-IMDb, 1963-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 8: Burai-ken (1969-IMDb, no listing-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 9: Burai-Hikae masho no hada (1969-IMDb, 1967-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro manji giri (1969-IMDb, 1969-Silver) (the only film both
sources agree on)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 10: Onna jigoku (1970-IMDb, 1968-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 11: Hito hada gumo (1970-IMDb, 1968-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro 12: Akujo-gari (1970-IMDb, 1969-Silver)

Nemuri Kyoshiro (1993-IMDb, no listing-Silver) (a TV movie, perhaps a remake
of one?)
