Since the beginning of Febraury, Wagstaff and Jeffrey Hill have been writing up various samurai movies on their blog, Liverputty. This is in anticipation of The House Next Door’s publication, beginning today, of a three-day long appreciation (also written by this tireless duo) of Hiroshi Inagaki’s Samurai trilogy, featuring Toshirô Mifune. Here are individual links to the articles written for Liverputty: Introduction; Zatoichi; Incident at Blood Pass; Lady Snowblood; The Men Who Tread on the Tiger’s Tail; Samurai film thought for the day; Onibaba; Goyokin; Shogun Assassin, and Hanzo the Razor: Sword of Justice.
This article was originally published on The House Next Door.
