If you loved Rikyu der Teemeister, try Seide und Schwert
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara, and they both carry the cerebral, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rikyu der Teemeister, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Seide und Schwert is
Seven Samurai without swords. Tea master Furuta Oribe is caught in a power struggle after his mentor is murdered. Princess Goh seeks justice. It's a handsome footnote to a legendary director's late career.
