kurosawa haikus (part 1)

sanshiro sugata
young disciple learns
the path of judo is hard
to follow truly

the most beautiful
all together now
girls sacrifice for country
and their families

sanshiro sugata part two
the proud and vain one
discovers himself to be
a truly good man

the men who tread on the tiger's tail
adapted noh play
rubberfaced kenomoto
runs away with it

no regrets for our youth
a bit of fluff finds
the iron in her spine and
achieves transcendence

one wonderful sunday
aftermath of war
what can two young lovers do?
hope for happiness

drunken angel
doctor tries to save
a dying yakuza thug
hope versus despair
