If you loved Kainan 1890, try Ask This of Rikyu

Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Mitsutoshi Tanaka, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kainan 1890, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
