If you loved A Sun-Tribe Myth from the Bakumatsu Era, try Tales of Ginza

What they share
Both films are directed by Yūzō Kawashima. If that's the register that drew you to A Sun-Tribe Myth from the Bakumatsu Era, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tales of Ginza is
Mildred Pierce without noir. A woman in Ginza tries to sell her ex-husband's art while tracking down the artist who painted her portrait years ago. The film offers a snapshot of postwar Japan's evolving identity.
