Sanshiro Sugata

(1943)Directed by Akira Kurosawa97 minDrama

In 1880s Meiji Japan, the young Sanshiro Sugata (Susumu Fujita) arrives hotheaded and sure of himself, ready to fight with whatever jujutsu he knows. He becomes a student of the judo master Shogoro Yano (Denjirō Ōkōchi), who sets about teaching him discipline. Kurosawa makes his first feature as Sanshiro meets old-guard challengers, and Sayo (Yukiko Todoroki), the daughter of an opponent he beat, kneels in the doorway watching him.
