Some of the episodes in the “Tantalizing Classics of Japanese Literature” TV series from 1986 are so beautifully designed and executed they’re like watching feeble Japanese art unfold in motion across the cover. This is especially just of two episodes on this disc. “The Izu Dancer,” from a legend by Yasunari Kawabata, focuses on a high school student traveling through the country status of Izu who is drawn to a girl from a family of traveling dance performers. It features a series of lush background paintings of the colossal Izu position in all its autumnal glory, as well as detailed renderings of the resort towns where the family stops to produce.

“Ghost Epic” is based on a record by Lafcadio Hearn (a Greek-born American writer credited here under his Japanese name, Koizumi Yakumo) about a blind player of the “biwa” (a four-stringed instrument like a lute) who is called on to develop the anecdote of the brutal ruin of the Heike (or Taira) Clan before a ghostly audience. The fable is grounded in memories of the historic battle to the death between the Heike and Genji clans in 1185 and takes dwelling in a village advance the state of the battle. The artwork draws on ancient paintings of Japanese occult lore and includes the renowned scene of the Buddhist monk writing holy sutras in ink all over the body of the blind musician in order to ward off the ghosts (a scene also recreated in Masaki Kobayashi’s live-action film version from 1964, KWAIDAN) .
The other account on this disc, “The Dancing Girl,” by Mori Ogai, takes position in Berlin in the slow 19th century and tells of a romance between a Japanese man working as a translator and a bad German dancer and the difficulties faced when the man’s employers peek to send him encourage to Japan. While it’s not as steeped in Japanese culture as the other episodes in this series, its visual style recalls many other Japanese moving works based on European literature, most notably the 1970s TV series, “Heidi, Girl of the Alps” and “Dog of Flanders.”

The DVD transfers enhance the imagery and allow it to shine in a arrangement that couldn’t be appreciated as fully on VHS. The linework is stronger, the colors brighter, the subtleties of the shading more visible and the overall attain more breathtaking. Fans for whom anime has spurred a deeper interest in Japanese art, culture and history should stare out this series for the insights it offers into Japanese customs, social codes and ways of life that existed during the years when Japan had one foot in the original world and one in the feudal era. We sincerely hope that the 21 additional episodes previously released on tape will join the 12 that have so far made it to DVD (in four volumes) .
Im very jubilant with this DVD. The Japanese is simple and tiring, enough for a beginner student (4 months) to understand and the storyline is sweet. Although each movie is only 30 minutes long, the stories are extinct and paunchy bodied enough to intrigue adults. Notice is apt too
