films about Yaoya Oshichi

[Frako Loden]

Thanks for the suggestions. But

neither David Lewis's
googling '(name) jmdb' i.e. '(Yaoya Oshichi) jmdb'

nor

Drainer's
name in quotes " " and jmdb outside of the quotes i.e. "Yaoya Oshichi" jmdb

works for me. Are you both saying I should input 
the name with kanji in Google too?
