 I second Kobayashi. Seppuku is available on VHS but not much else...
there's a HK dvd but that doesn't count!

Naruse, Masaki Kobayashi, Nagisa Oshima, Shiro Toyoda and Kaneto Shindo as
well - with a small number of exceptions per director, their work tends to
be difficult to see and obtain as well.
