As far as I know, Shôchiku new wave "officially" included the three
directors you mentioned, as well as Tamura Tsutomu, Takahashi Osamu,
Morikawa Eitarô (who provided the Kyoto-based, jidai geki-esque version of
this so-called new-wave), and maybe Saitô Masao...
There's an interesting article ("Shôchiku Ofuna no jidai") Satô Tadao wrote
around 1973 (in *Sekai no eiga sakka*), that could stand as an objective
testimony of what was the "official version" of Shôchiku Nouvelle Vague...
And if one relies on that text, Shôchiku officials actually seem to have
stopped this Nouvelle Vague by 1961, for economical reasons... That is to
say that strictly speaking, Hani's film would not be part of it... But how
far is this point of view to be acknowledged ? That's something I wouldn't
know...
