[KineJapan] Seeking info on "The Flame in the Fog" [sic] a silent film

[Dan Streible]

Curious about this film frame published in the journal *Close Up* (January
1929).
https://archive.org/details/closeup04macp/page/n69/mode/2up
The caption gives the English title *The Flame in the Fog**, *a  narrative
feature filmed almost entirely during heavy natural fog. Someone on social
media tells me JA.wikipedia says this is 霧の中の灯 (Light/Lamp in the Fog,
1926, Shochiku studio)
[Google translate says "Kiri no naka no akari" = A LIGHT IN THE MIST.
Thanks to "sae z. utte" on BlueSky.

Elsewhere in the journal, director "J. Shige Sudzuky" [Shigeyoshi Suzuki]
is identified as a prolific Japanese filmmaker, who had directed some 30
films by then, often 'experimental' in style.
Sudzuky wrote some articles for *Close Up* about Japan's movie industry in
the late 20s and early 1930s. And the journal published a dozen or more
images he supplied it from his own films. One said to be produced in Japan
for Universal.

The journal illustrated Andor Krazna-Krausz's 1932 book review of Rudolph
Arnheim's *Film als Kunst* exclusively with frames from Sudzuky
'avantgardefilms,' including one titled *Jazz and Love. *The review does
not refer to him or any of his films, or even to Japan.

The only Suzuki's silent film I find much about in English is *What Made
Her Do It?* (何が彼女をそうさせたか, *Nani ga kanojo o sō saseta ka*) 1930.
That one is viewable.
Are any other Suzuki silents availabe?
Thanks for any leads.
