films about Yaoya Oshichi

[drainer at mpinet.net]

I've had the same problem searching. This is particularly hard when you 
don't know the correct kanji for the title...

The search only works with kanji (many sites are like that).

The google trick does work, my suggestion for better results is to redefine 
the search  -- try the name in quotes " " and jmdb outside of the quotes. So 
the same thing David suggested, but have the title in quotes.
