on BBC Two England

The first showing on network television for this film in the Made in Japan season. American scholar and writer Lafcadio Hearn
(1850-1904) settled in Japan and fell in love with the country and its history.
His ghost stories - Black
Hair, Snow Woman, Hoichi the Earless and In a Cup of Tea - form the basis of this film, with haunting images of samurai Japan in bloody sea battles, courtly ritual, love betrayed and the power of the undead. In Japanese with English subtitles.
