that, at this time, I was thinking by the platform.

It is of the word of Kiyoshi Atsumi who wrote by the serialization column of the title, “the word in the life” which the person who is called Kutzuwada Takafumi in weekly today of this week's issue is writing, that, at this time, I was thinking by the platform.

It is of the word of Kiyoshi Atsumi who wrote by the serialization column of the title, “the word in the life” which the person who is called Kutzuwada Takamumi in weekly today of this week's issue is writing, that, at this time, I was thinking by the platform.

It had begun with the following sentences.

In the bookstore in Tokyo and Sukiyabashi, it has seen Kiyoshi Atsumi.
It is a matchless reader.
Simply, it doesn't waken to that anyone is “Tora-san” because it did the look to be fearful of and it was glaring at the bookshelf of the history.
Then, it became making double exposure to the smiling face that somewhere is deserted as that “the look to be fearful of " permeates the heart of " Tora-san " every time it sees a movie later and it was hopeless.

The omission

The feeling as it lurks in the remark of Atsumi who appears on Kobayashi Nobuhiko's masterpiece " the strange man Kiyoshi Atsumi " ( Shinchosha ) did the mystery.

By the conversation with Kobayashi who made familiar, Atsumi uses the word “to be maniac “frequently.
It prescribed “the human being who is smiling when appearing on television but is abnormal” and a personally, being clear.
Saying Kobayashi " was maniac ", when pointing out, after answering that it does " to say distraction　yeah. Distraction seems more awful and hearing ", it asserted “that the maniac fellow who is not was hopeless ".
“Because to be isolated is salty so in only lying to the clique and the politics, but to be isolated is valuable ".
The distraction and the isolation!
I cannot explain, being good but the position of such pure mind intends to know only that it is about to disappear from the society in Japan in these days about whether or not it is how one.
Accompanying by Atsumi, and the death artist, Hisashi Inoue if saying the person who polished “an accomplishment “in Asakusa's strip club Theatre Francais
The genealogy of the humor and the laughter with the true meaning
In Japan, it is “the race” who is about to become extinct.

Easiness however and for example, it is the difficult industry of creation that besprinkles the plausible remark which is grave like the editorial of the newspaper, the speech of the politician and the comment of the television and so on on the humor and the laughter which encourages a human being from the bottom of the mind.

The film director, Youji Yamada who created " Otoko wa tzuraiyo" to be near 50 work by are moving a praise, " Atsumi is the person who tells a beautiful word like the poet when sometimes speculatively like the philosopher and also being ", to " Kiyoshi Atsumi anthology of haiku the red dragonfly " ( 本阿弥書店 ).

The consideration person and the poet with the true meaning, keep a mind deeply in the distraction and the isolation.

The omit the last part

Strange and inscrutable is the way two people are brought together into wedlock.

Strange and inscrutable is the way two people are brought together into wedlock.

It is when trying to head for Kyoto today to take the scenery of the mountain which was seen when the other day, the return from Shisendo, the taxi which heads for subway Matsugasaki station approached Takaono-river and standing in the platform in JR Shin-Osaka station at the time at one ten.

After being doing worries once, it was casually in the left when looking back.
There was a person who is seeing Akutagawa in the severe his eyes.
But the wife was seeing here with the suave face．
The reader is the person to know well.
It was among them best Tadao Ando of the architect in Japan of the zest such as being full of talented men and women who is oneself.

Of so-called of habitue itself however, Akutagawa who was treating, to be very familiar from the owner chef encountered several times to Mr.Ando Tadao in the good Japanese restaurant in Kita-Shinchi which was.
It is exchange each other in the glance.

When there was an Italian restaurant that Akutagawa, “Parma ", was preference underground at the Tokyu hotel which was in Umeda most in Oosaka, Akutagawa was the 1st habitue at this restaurant.
For him and the wife to go down the stairs to the restaurant together, Akutagawa encountered several times.
It still exchanged a glance
There was his architect's office in this neighborhood.

Lastly, he and it is the atrium at Hankyu International Hotel that encountered.
He walked at three of the wives and the mothers in the wide passage of the well hole that the ceiling is high even in where.
At this time, indeed, as for him, to have tried to speak to Akutagawa is as it wrote in the chapter somewhere.

Today, Akutagawa thought.
After all, Akutagawa who thought that he was fate which encounters without having a conversation talked about the thing to the companion.

It remembered suddenly then.
The elder brother of his twins, too, is opening an architect's office in the same way in Tokyo with for him to be twins and there are that Akutagawa was taken by some person and to have met an elder brother at the office.
How much however, the occupation was not the work which is there.

It was a story about building a building in the very good place in Tokyo.

It knows that he is twins if thinking and seeing and still, there is not a human being who has to have met his elder brother immediately.

In Akutagawa, to have had a liking above ordinary person's moving is as you know to him.
His career is to it because there was one which is near Akutagawa's career especially.
The human being in Oosaka which met at Otsuka's youth hostel when roaming a youth hostel in Tokyo in the personal distress which had occurred from the home, he, too, was twins.
That young man seems to have been him and it doesn't become.
It thought whether or not it was not he and it gazed often but whenever, he who was doing a natural face was staring at Akutagawa with the actually steep face today.
But the wife was whenever and the same smiling looks.

When the northern yard was confused, Asahi Shimbun demanded an opinion from him several times.
Only as for this matter, Akutagawa who could not side with the idea of he and Kuma Kengo at all represented the thing which is severe on them when Akutagawa wrote the sentences by which Hiroshi Hara is praised about doing Kyoto station’s wonderful.
The true intention didn't have to be read by Tadao Ando in this at Akutagawa.
Surely, Akutagawa thought that he read.
The severe eyes of him today made Akutagawa think that those sentences still reached his eyes.

Yoji Yamada

Yoji Yamada (山田 洋次 Yamada Yōji, born September 13, 1931 in Toyonaka City, Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese film director best known for his Otoko wa Tsurai yo series of films and his Samurai Trilogy (The Twilight Samurai, The Hidden Blade and Love and Honor).

He was born in Osaka. But because of the work of his father, who was an engineer for the South Manchuria Railway, from the age of 2 he was brought up in Manchuria. Following the end of World War II, he came back to Japan and subsequently he lived in Yamagata Prefecture.

After receiving his degree from Tokyo University in 1954, he entered Shochiku and worked under Yoshitaro Nomura as a scriptwriter or as an assistant director.

He has won many awards throughout his lengthy career and is well respected in Japan and by critics throughout the world. He wrote his first screenplay in 1958, and directed his first movie in 1961. Yamada continues to make movies to this day.

He once served as president of the Directors Guild of Japan, and is currently a guest professor of Ritsumeikan University.

Tora-san series

Known in Japan under the title Otoko wa Tsurai yo, his Tora-san series features traveling merchant Torajirō, who is always unlucky in love. Since the lead role in every Tora-san movie was played by Kiyoshi Atsumi, his death in 1996 put an end to the series and Yamada moved on to other movies. Although Yamada is known for his long-running series of movies―four films in the A Class to Remember series, 13 in the Free and Easy (Tsuribaka Nisshi) series―none has reached the prolific numbers of the Tora-san series. Over a period of about 25 years, 48 Tora-san films were made, all of them starring Atsumi, and the majority written and directed by Yamada.

Notable awards

His movies have won the Best Picture award at the Japanese Academy Awards four times: in 1977 for The Yellow Handkerchief, in 1991 for My Sons, in 1993 for A Class to Remember, and in 2002 for The Twilight Samurai, which was nominated for the 76th Academy Awards' Best Foreign Language Film. He has won the Japan Academy Prize for Director of the Year three times. His 1984 film Tora-san's Forbidden Love was nominated for the Golden Prize at the 14th Moscow International Film Festival.[3]

His 2004 film, The Hidden Blade, was nominated for sixteen awards and won three.

In 2010 Yoji Yamada was honored at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival with a screening of his latest film Otōto during the awards ceremony, as well as receiving a Berlinale Camera award for his numerous contributions to the festival's program.

Otoko wa Tsurai yo

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas

Otoko wa Tsurai yo (男はつらいよ Amat Sulit Menjadi Laki-Laki?) adalah seri film-film Jepang dengan Kiyoshi Atsumi sebagai Tora-san (寅さん), seorang pengembara yang selalu tidak beruntung dalam cinta. Penggemar menyebut film-film seperti ini sebagai film "Tora-san".[1] Seluruh film dalam seri Otoko wa Tsurai yo yang berjumlah 48 judul dari tahun 1969 hingga 1995,[2] disutradarai oleh Yōji Yamada yang juga menulis (atau ikut menulis) semua skenario. Hanya film episode 3 dan 4 yang tidak ditangani oleh Yōji Yamada. Seri film Tora-san memegang rekor Guinness Book of World Records sebagai seri film terpanjang di dunia, sebelum rekor tersebut dipecahkan oleh seri film-film Huang Fei-Hong. Namun berbeda dari Otoko wa Tsurai yo, seri film Huang Fei-Hung tidak hanya ditangani oleh seorang sutradara.[3]

Setiap film Otoko wa Tsurai yo menampilkan aktris wanita yang berperan sebagai Madonna. Aktris wanita yang ditampilkan pada setiap film selalu berbeda-beda. Demikian pula lokasi pengambilan gambar yang berbeda-beda untuk setiap filmnya. Ada pula film yang berlokasi di luar negeri (Arizona dan Wina). Dari tahun 1969 hingga 1989, setiap tahunnya diproduksi dua judul film, satu judul untuk diedarkan pada musim panas, dan satu judul lagi untuk diedarkan pada Tahun Baru.

Seri film Otoko wa Tsurai yo berakhir setelah kesehatan Atsumi menurun hingga akhirnya ia meninggal dunia akibat kanker paru-paru pada usia 68 tahun. Ketika Atsumi meninggal dunia, tokoh Tora-san yang diperankannya masih belum menemukan tempat untuk menetap dan belum juga menemukan pasangan hidupnya. Kiyoshi Atsumi identik dengan tokoh Tora-san yang diperankannya. Ketika ia meninggal dunia, penggemar menerimanya sebagai berita kematian Tora-san. Setelah kematian Atsumi, sutradara Yōji Yamada memutuskan untuk tidak meneruskan seri film Otoko wa Tsurai yo. Namun, naskah film Tora-san yang belum difilmkan diubahnya menjadi film "Niji wo Tsukamu Otoko" yang diperankan oleh Nishida Toshiyuki sebagai pemilik bioskop keliling. Meskipun Niji dibuatnya sebagai film tribut, adegan terakhir dibuat Yamada sebagai tribut untuk seri film Tora-san dan Atsumi Kiyoshi. Hampir semua pemeran penting dari film "Otoko wa Tsurai yo" tampil dalam film "Niji". Tokoh Tora-san bahkan tampil sebagai kejutan sebelum film berakhir dengan maksud memberi kesan Tora-san masih berada di satu tempat di Jepang, entah di mana.

Plot dasar

Semua film-film Tora-san memiliki plot dasar yang sama, ditambah sedikit variasi. Kuruma Torajirō (alias Tora-san) adalah seorang wiraniaga keliling. Barang bawaannya hanya sedikit, sebuah koper kecil beserta isinya, beberapa helai pakaian dan sejumlah kecil uang. Ia mengembara dari kota satu ke kota lain menjajakan barang dagangannya. Ia bercita-cita dapat kembali ke rumahnya di Shibamata, Katsushika, Tokyo. Sanak saudara yang dimilikinya hanya Sakura (saudari perempuan yang baik hati), Hiroshi (suami Sakura), Mitsuo (anak laki-laki Sakura dan Hiroshi), Tatsuzō (paman Tora-san) dan Tsune (bibi Tora-san). Tatsuzō dan Tsune berjualan dango di sebuah toko milik mereka yang berada di Shibamata. Film sering dimulai dengan angan-angan Tora-san untuk melakukan hal-hal besar karena dirinya ingin menjadi seorang yang berjasa untuk keluarga. Namun angan-angan tersebut biasanya berakhir dengan kekecewaan.

Tora-san datang tiba-tiba mengunjungi sanak saudaranya. Meskipun kedatangannya diterima dengan senang hari, Tora-san pada akhirnya membuat gara-gara yang berakhir dengan pertengkaran keluarga. Tora-san lalu pergi secara tiba-tiba dengan membawa barang-barangnya.

Ia lalu tiba di sebuah kota terpencil dengan maksud menjual barang dagangannya kepada penduduk setempat. Di kota kecil itulah, Tora-san biasanya bertemu dengan sang "Madonna", seorang wanita lajang yang sedang galau. Tora-san biasanya langsung tergila-gila jatuh cinta kepada wanita itu. Namun upayanya yang malu-malu untuk memenangi hati sang Madonna selalu berakhir dengan kegagalan. Tora-san secara tidak sengaja justru membuat sang Madonna akur kembali dengan bekas pacarnya atau malah menjodohkannya dengan laki-laki lain.

Film selalu diakhiri dengan keadaan Tora-san patah hati, tapi selalu tersenyum untuk menyembunyikan hatinya yang luka.

Asal usul

Film layar lebar Otoko wa Tsurai yo yang pertama dibuat berdasarkan drama televisi yang ditayangkan dari tahun 1968 to 1969. Drama televisi tersebut berjudul "Gukei (atau "Gukyō")-Kenmai" (愚兄賢妹), yang berarti Saudara Laki-Laki yang Bodoh dan Saudara Perempuan yang Bijak. Judul Otoko wa Tsurai yo awalnya berasal dari anak judul Naite tamaruka (泣いてたまるか) yang juga dibintangi Atsumi Kiyoshi.

Kobayashi Shun'ichi lalu mengganti judul drama televisi itu menjadi Otoko wa Tsurai yo. Dalam episode terakhir drama televisi, Torajirō meninggal dunia akibat digigit ular. Penyelesaian cerita seperti itu membuat marah pemirsa sehingga dibuat versi film layar lebar Otoko wa Tsurai yo.

Pada awalnya, Shochiku yang mengedarkan film ini, tidak begitu antusias dengan prospek film seperti ini. Namun Yōji Yamada pada berhasil membujuk Shochiku agar terus mau membuat kelanjutannya. Seri film-film Tora-san akhirnya sukses besar hingga setiap tahunnya diproduksi dua judul film, satu judul untuk dirilis pada musim panas, dan satu judul lagi untuk Tahun Baru.

Otoko wa tsurai yo

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Otoko wa tsurai yo (男はつらいよ"E' dura essere un uomo") è una serie di film giapponesi con protagonista Kiyoshi Atsumi nel ruolo di "Tora-san (寅さん?), un vagabondo gentile ma sfortunato in amore. La serie stessa è spesso identificata con il nome del protagonista "Tora-san" dai fan.[1] La serie ha generato quarantotto capitoli proiettati fra il 1969 ed il 1995[2] tutti diretti dal regista Yōji Yamada, ad eccezione del terzo e del quarto film. La serie era considerata dal Guinness dei primati come la più lunga serie cinematografica della storia, finché non è stata superata dalla serie Huang Fei-Hong. Tuttavia, Otoko wa tsurai yo ha il primato di essere stata diretta quasi per intero da un unico regista.[3]

In ogni film è protagonista oltre a Tora-san un personaggio femminile, chiamato Madonna, ed è ambientato in una differente regione del Giappone, benché ci siano capitoli ambientati in Arizona o a Vienna. Dal 1969 al 1989, Ogni anno venivano abitualmente proiettati due film della serie: uno in estate ed uno alla vigilia di capodanno. Dal 1990 al 1995, tuttavia fu proiettato soltanto un film in concomitanza con la vigilia di Capodanno. AnimEigo ha pubblicato per la prima volta la serie negli Stati Uniti nel 2009 con il titolo Tora-san.[4]

La serie è terminata per via dello stato di salute di Atsumi, morto all'età di sessantotto anni per cancro ai polmoni. La serie è stata quindi conclusa senza un finale per il personaggio di Tora-san. Atsumi era talmente identificato con il personaggio di Tora-san, che alla sua morte i fan hanno considerato morto anche Tora-san. Il regista Yamada ha deciso di non continuare la serie dopo la morte dell'attore Atsumi, tuttavia ha rielaborato una sceneggiatura di "Tora-san" rimasta irrealizzata per creare le basi per il film Niji wo Tsukamu Otoko con protagonista Nishida Toshiyuki.

Trama

Tutti i film della serie hanno uno sviluppo della trama simile con microscopiche variazioni. Kuruma Torajirō (o Tora-san), un venditore ambulante che non ha nulla, se non il contenuto della sua valigetta ed i vestiti che indossa, viaggia di città in città nella speranza di vendere la propria merce. Il suo desiderio è di tornare nella sua città di Shibamata, Katsushika, Tokyo. I suoi unici familiari sono Sakura (la sua dolce sorellastra), Hiroshi (il marito di Sakura), Mitsuo (il figlio di Sakura e Hiroshi), Tatsuzō (vecchio zio di Tora-san) e Tsune (vecchia zia di Tora-san). Tatsuzō e Tsune gestiscono un negozio di dango a Shibamata.

Nello sviluppo del film Tora-san si inoltra in qualche paese sperduto ed incontra una "Madonna", una giovane donna in difficoltà. Tora-san finisce per innamorarsi della donna, ma nei suoi timidi tentativi di conquistarla finisce inevitabilmente per gettarla nelle braccia di una vecchia fiamma o di un altro uomo. Tora-san finisce invariabilmente con il cuore a pezzi, ma fa buon viso a cattivo gioco e parte per un nuovo viaggio, nella speranza di guarire il

Origini televisive

Prima dell'uscita nei cinema del primo film di Otoko wa tsurai yo, una versione della storia in forma di drama televisivo fu trasmessa dal 1968 al 1969. La serie era originariamente intitolata Gukei-Kenmai (愚兄賢妹? "Fratello goffo e sorella saggia"), dal sottotitolo finale di Naite tamaruka (泣いてたまるか?), il cui protagonista era proprio Atsumi Kiyoshi.

Kobayashi Shun'ichi reintitolò la serie Otoko wa tsurai yo, e nell'episodio finale, Torajirō moriva per il morso di un serpente. Questa scelta fece infuriare il pubblico, e la produzione fu costretta a concludere la storia in un altro modo, creando appunto il primo film di Otoko wa tsurai yo. Ad eccezione di Morikawa Shin, il cast di supporto della serie televisiva non riprese il proprio ruolo nel film, anche se Sato Gajiro comparve successivamente in numerosi film della serie.

Otoko wa Tsurai yo

Otoko wa Tsurai yo (jap. 男はつらいよ; „Hartes Brot, ein Mann zu sein“) ist eine Serie von Filmen des Regisseurs Yōji Yamada.
Mit 49 Fortsetzungen in der Zeit von 1969 bis 1997 galt die Serie im Guinness-Buch der Rekorde lange Zeit als längste Filmserie.

Handlung

Alle Filme sind nach einem einheitlichen Muster aufgebaut.

Hauptfigur ist Torajiro Kuruma (abgekürzt als Tora-san), gespielt von Kiyoshi Atsumi.

Tora-san verdient sein Geld damit, auf Straßenmärkten verschiedenen Tand zu verkaufen. Sein aufgeschlossener und fröhlicher Charakter hilft ihm dabei.

Bei dieser Tätigkeit kommt er in ganz Japan herum. Jedes Mal verliebt er sich in eine Frau in einer Stadt, die er gerade besucht. Dann kommt er zurück zu seiner Familie; die Hauptdarstellerin des jeweiligen Filmes taucht dann wenig später auch wieder dort auf.

Regelmäßig stellt er sich in der Beziehung zu der Hauptdarstellerin ungeschickt an und bleibt am Schluss ein sympathischer Verlierer. Hartes Brot für ihn.

Wirkung

Der Hauptdarsteller Kiyoshi Atsumi wurde für seine Rolle als Tora-san sechs Mal für einen Japanese Academy Award nominiert, allerdings in keinem Fall mit Erfolg. Die Reihe ist eine der erfolgreichsten Filmserien in Japan.

Otoko wa tsurai yo

Otoko wa tsurai yo (男はつらいよ?, « C'est dur d'être un homme ») est une série de films dramatiques japonais.

Elle relate les mésaventures de Tora-san (寅さん?), un homme sensible n'ayant pas de chance en amour, devant faire face à diverses crises économiques, problème familiaux et autres malheurs.

La série compte 48 films, a commencé en 1969 et s'est terminée en 1995. Tous les films, à l'exception du troisième et du quatrième opus, ont été réalisés par Yoji Yamada. Le rôle de Torajirō Kuruma (車 寅次郎, Kuruma Torajirō?), Tora-san, a été joué dans tous les films par Kiyoshi Atsumi (en), sa mort en 1996 provoquant la fin de la série.

Synopsis

Presque tous les films ont la même histoire : Tora-San, un marchand ambulant, arrive dans une ville perdue pour vendre sa marchandise. Il rencontre une femme du coin, souvent une demoiselle en détresse, et lui demande de le trouver si jamais elle vient à Tokyo. Il rentre ensuite chez lui à Shibamata, dans l'arrondissement de Katsushika à Tokyo et se heurte à sa famille. La demoiselle vient visiter Tora-san et il tombe amoureux d'elle. Cependant, malgré ses efforts pour la séduire, elle finit avec un autre homme, ce qui lui brise le cœur.

Otoko wa Tsurai yo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otoko wa Tsurai yo (男はつらいよ?, "It's tough being a man") is a Japanese film series starring Kiyoshi Atsumi as "Tora-san" (寅さん?), a kind-hearted vagabond who is always unlucky in love. The series itself is often referred to as "Tora-san" by its fans.[1] Spanning 48 installments released between 1969 and 1995,[2] all of the Otoko wa tsurai yo films except episodes 3 and 4 were directed by Yōji Yamada, who also wrote (or co-wrote) all the screenplays. The series was considered by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the longest movie series in the world, until it was surpassed by the Huang Fei-Hong series (which, unlike the Otoko wa Tsurai yo series, it was not principally helmed by one director).[3]

Each film featured a different leading lady, called a Madonna, and a different region of Japan. (There were also episodes that featured scenes in Arizona and Vienna.) Two films were usually made each year between 1969 and 1989, one for summer and one for New Year release. From 1990 to 1995 only one film was made each year, for New Year release. AnimEigo released a boxset of the first four films in the United States in 2009 under the title "Tora-san".[4]

The film series ended with Atsumi's declining health and death from lung cancer at age 68, without Tora-san ever settling down and finding domestic happiness. Atsumi was so identified with the Tora-san character that his death was also considered by fans to be the death of Tora-san. Director Yamada decided not to continue the series after Atsumi's death, but reworked a Tora-san script stuck in development as Niji wo Tsukamu Otoko starring Nishida Toshiyuki as a traveling cinema operator. Although Niji was a tribute to movies in general, the final scenes were Yamada's touching, loving posthumous tribute to the Tora-san series and to Atsumi Kiyoshi. Almost all of the principal actors from Otoko wa Tsurai yo have cameos in the Niji film, and the Tora-san character even makes a surprise cameo appearance near the end of the movie hinting that perhaps Tora is still out there somewhere. The film ends with a dedication to Atsumi Kiyoshi.

Basic plot

All of the Tora-san movies had the same basic plot with some minor variations. Kuruma Torajirō (or Tora-san), a traveling salesman whose sole possessions include only the contents of a small suitcase, the clothes on his back and some pocket money, wanders from town to town peddling his wares. He yearns to return to his home in Shibamata, Katsushika, Tokyo. His sole surviving family members include Sakura (his kind-hearted half-sister), Hiroshi (Sakura's husband), Mitsuo (Sakura and Hiroshi's son), Tatsuzō (Tora-san's elderly uncle) and Tsune (Tora-san's elderly aunt). Tatsuzō and Tsune run a traditional sweets (Dango) shop in Shibamata. The film often begins with Tora-san dreaming of doing grand deeds, anxious to be worthy of his family, usually resulting in disappointment and subsequent awakening.

Tora-san unexpectedly drops in on his family. While the family is glad to see him, Tora-san's stay eventually causes some kind of ruckus and usually a violent family argument ensues. He then storms off with his belongings just as suddenly as he arrived.

Some time later, he arrives in some remote town planning to peddle his wares to the locals. There, he meets the "Madonna", a local damsel in distress. Tora-san usually tells the damsel to look him up at his family's dango shop in Shibamata. The damsel takes him up on his offer and Tora-san invariably returns. Torasan falls head over heels in love with her (though he always seems oblivious to his own feelings). However, in his shy efforts to win the Madonna's heart, Tora usually ends up inadvertently bringing her together with an old flame or another man. Tora-san invariably ends up heartbroken but puts on a brave face and wanders off again on his journey to heal his broken heart.

Origin of the series

Preceding the first theatrical film of Otoko wa tsurai yo, a teledrama version was broadcast from 1968 to 1969. It was originally titled "Gukei (or "Gukyō")-Kenmai" (愚兄賢妹), meaning "Goofy Brother and Wise Sister." The name comes from the final subtitle of Naite tamaruka (泣いてたまるか). (The star of Naite tamaruka is also Atsumi Kiyoshi.)

Kobayashi Shun'ichi renamed the show Otoko wa Tsurai yo. In the final episode of the TV series, Torajirō dies of a snakebite. This denouement made the audience angry and a film version of Otoko wa Tsurai yo followed.

Initially, Shochiku, the distributing agency, was not enthusiastic about the film's prospects but Yōji Yamada's persuasiveness ultimately prevailed. The film series went on to become a huge success with films released every summer and New Years. The series has occupying a large position within the realm of Japanese pop culture psyche. With the exception of Morikawa Shin, the supporting cast of the television version did not reprise their roles in the film series - though Sato Gajiro appears in most of the films as "Gen-chan", Nagayama Aiko is the Madonna in the 6th film and Hisashi Igawa is her suitor.

Nigatsu-dō

Le Nigatsu-dō (二月堂, « le bâtiment du deuxième mois »?) est un des importants édifices du Tōdai-ji, un temple situé à Nara au Japon. Nigatsu-dō se trouve à l'est du grand hall du Buddha sur les pentes du mont Wakakusa. Il inclut plusieurs bâtiments en plus du bâtiment spécifique appelé Nigatsu-dō, et comprend ainsi son propre sous-complexe au sein de Tōdai-ji1.

Histoire

Nigatsu-dō est fondé par un moine du nom de Sanetada en 752. Jitchū, un moine Bouddhiste disciple de Rōben, introduit en 760 une cérémonie de repentance dédiée à l'image du Bodhisattva à onze visages, Kannon. Ce rite annuel se reproduit sans interruption depuis l'an 760. La cérémonie a fini par prendre le nom de Shuni-e (修二会, lit. « cérémonie du deuxième mois ») parce qu'elle se déroule pendant le deuxième mois du calendrier luni-solaire traditionnel. À présent, elle commence le 1er mars et se termine le 15 du même mois2. Omizu-tori, qui signifie « prendre l'eau sacrée », est devenu le nom populaire de la cérémonie.

Alors que la première cérémonie Shuni-e aurait été célébrée par Jichu dans un autre temple en 752, on estime que la construction du bâtiment de Nigatsu-dō n'a été achevée qu'entre 756 et 772.

Bien que le bâtiment a été épargné lors des guerres civiles en 1180 et en 1567 à l'occasion desquelles le Grand Hall du Bouddha a été perdu, il est incendié pendant la cérémonie Shuni-e de 1667. La reconstruction de Nigatsu-do est terminée en 16693.

En 1944, il est choisi par le Japon comme l'un des aspects culturels les plus importants du pays.

L'actuel bâtiment principal du Nigatsu-dō est classé trésor national. Il abrite deux Kannons, un grand et un petit. Chacun est répertorié Hibutsu (秘仏) – « Bouddhas secrets » – et par conséquent ils ne sont pas exposés au public.

Nigatsu-dō

Nigatsu-dō
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nigatsu-dō (二月堂, "The Hall of the Second Month") is one of the important structures of Tōdai-ji, a temple in Nara, Japan. Nigatsu-dō is located to the east of the Great Buddha Hall, on the hillside of Mount Wakakusa. It includes several other buildings in addition to the specific hall named Nigatsu-dō, thus comprising its own sub-complex within Tōdai-ji.

History

Nigatsu-dō was founded by a monk by the name of Sanetada in 752, but the Buddhist monk Jitchu, a pupil of Rōben, later introduced a repentance service dedicated to the image of the eleven-faced Bodhisattva, Kannon in 760. It has taken place as an annual rite since 760 without any break. The service has come to be known as Shuni-e (修二会, lit. Second-Month Service), as it was held in the second month of the traditional lunisolar calendar. At present, it starts on 1 March and ends on the 15th of the month. Omizutori, which means taking sacred water, has become the popular name of the ceremony.

While the first Shuni-e service is said to have been held by Jichu in another temple in 752, the original construction of Nigatsu-dō hall is estimated to have completed only somewhere between 756 and 772. Nigatsu-dō was destroyed in 1667 due to a fire.

1667 (Kanbun 7): After fire destroyed the main temple structure, work on rebuilding Nigatsu-dō (二月堂) at Nara commenced.
Re-construction of Nigatsu-do is completed in 1669. In 1944, it was chosen by Japan as one of the most important cultural aspects of the country.

Architecture

Although the hall was saved from civil wars in 1180 and 1567 in which the Great Buddha Hall was lost, it was burnt down during the Shuni-e service of 1667. The hall was rebuilt two years later.

The current main hall of Nigatsu-dō is a designated National Treasure. The hall holds two Kannons, a large one and a small one, although both of them are classified as Hibutsu (秘仏) – "secret Buddhas" – and therefore are not publicly shown.

" The Hall of the Second Month"

" The Hall of the Second Month" is one of the places which Akutagawa likes most.
The surprise when seeing the first time this place should be the one which can not be forgot by taking from a lot of persons.
Now, it thinks that this place is the place where the essence of the Avatamska Sutra appears.
It thinks that it is about call fee's not being needed that this another place is terrible with that in this place.
When Todai-ji is the temple which is the best of Japan only in it, Akutagawa is as when thinking.
Of the reader of being reconsidering many times on occasion in addition to Akutagawa's being seeing "Otoko wa Tsurai yo" in the whole book as you know
It admired by Nigatsudo, it was completed, being favorite and it was soon.
Possibly on what and in "Otoko wa Tsurai yo", with the 1st work, this place appears.
To have thought that it was Youji Yamada indeed is needless to say.
Then, it visits Nigatsudo again and to have confirmed the place where Tora-san appeared, too, is needless to say.

Of course in the occasion to have gone to the view day before yesterday in the flower of the rattan in Kasuga-taisha
Through Wakakusayama, it went to Nigatsudo, too.
It was possible to have taken the among them best number 々 of the photograph to have taken Nigatsudo so far.
