Tora-san Meets the Songstress Again Screens at Japan Society on November 21 in New York

Tora-san Meets the Songstress Again , screens on Friday, November 21, 7:30pm at Japan Society. The Tora-san series chronicles the life of an unruly vagabond traveling through Japan with mostly the same characters and actors, following his gangly adventures and budding new love interests ("The Madonna") in each film. In an age when cool yakuza superstars such as Ken Takakura and Yujiro Ishihara dominated the screen, actor Kiyoshi Atsumi as Tora-san emerged in 1969 as Japan's comic anti-hero, and remained the country's beloved icon for over 25 years. Over the years, Tora-san came to embody an old, distant world, humorously winning over vast audiences nostalgic for simpler times. To date, over 80 million people have seen Tora-san in theaters in Japan. Having written and directed all but two of the 48 films, Yoji Yamada (Twilight Samurai ) hand selects his top eight films for Japan Society's Tora-san series.
