If you loved Under the Flag of the Rising Sun, try The Geisha House
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kinji Fukasaku, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Under the Flag of the Rising Sun, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Geisha House is
Kyoto 1947. A fresh-faced Omocha enters a geisha house to train under razor-thin house codes. Watching tradition buckle against neon Tokyo. The house holds up a mirror to vanishing beauty.
