A phantom masterpiece that won first place in the 1959 Kinema Junpo's Best Ten Films representing 60 years of Japanese cinema, a cinematic landmark, Daisuke Ito's "Chuji's Travel Diary" (111 minutes, silent, colorized). A miraculous masterpiece resurrected by the National Film Archive, restoring the unearthed phantom film!

"Chuji's Travel Diary" (1927) consists of three parts: Part 1 "Koshu Killing Scene," Part 2 "Shinshu Blood and Laughter," and Part 3 "Official Business." Directed by Daisuke Ito, starring Denjiro Okochi. The film is full of charm, with mobile shooting, expressionistic techniques, intense action scenes, and clever use of subtitles, which later became synonymous with Ito's directing, and were delicate and ambitious attempts not found in traditional period dramas. It was a big hit and highly acclaimed. The film was lost and became a phantom film for a long time, but in 1991, a 35mm colorized film was discovered in a private house in Hiroshima Prefecture, and a part of the second part, "Shinshu Blood and Laughter," and most of the third part, "Official Business," remain. It was considered a groundbreaking discovery, comparable to "Battleship Potemkin" in Soviet film history and "Intolerance" in American film history. "Long Regret" is Daisuke Ito's first film after joining Nikkatsu, a memorable work in which he teamed up with Denjiro Okochi for the first time. It depicts brothers, loyalists, who are in love with a single daughter. What remains is the final volume, focusing on the fight scenes, the intensity and skill of the cut-backs between the protagonist, who dies after escaping the encirclement of the Shinsengumi and letting his brother and daughter escape, and the two who are escaping, condensing the true essence of Ito's films.
