No.  Nomura's film was one of the first adaptations of a Matsumoto 
Seicho novel to the screen.  Nomura later adapted the author's work into 
SHADOW DOOM (Kage no kuruma, 1970), THE CASTLE OF SAND (Suna no utsuwa, 
1974), THE DEMON (Kichiku, 1977) and SUSPICION (Giwaku, 1982).  Haven't 
seen either HARIKOMI so can't state definitively.
