I'm guessing this is a collection of stories from the tv-series, which Kurosawa
has directed for in the past. I saw one hour-long tape collection called GAKKO NO
KAIDAN G which fetaured one of his 10 minute films, along with another of similar
length and various much shorter snippets. I've also seen three tapes (from a
different company) entitled GAKKO NO KAIDAN each containing two approximately 10
minute stories that seemed aimed at younger viewers (the cast were pre-teen) so
I'm not sure if there are different series sharing the same title or if it's
mutated over the years.
