About This Movie
Koto—The Lake of Tears is a 1966 romance and drama film from Japan. Directed by Toei Company, it tells the story of Saku, a young shamisen string maker whose life changes dramatically when a master musician enters her life.
Koto—The Lake of Tears is somewhat of a rarity among collectors, often overshadowed by more prominent Japanese cinema from the same era. Its limited release and the elusive nature of the director contribute to its scarcity, making it a fascinating piece for those interested in the more obscure films of the 1960s. There's a growing interest in regional storytelling from Japan, and this film’s intimate portrayal of art and personal struggle has started to resonate with a niche audience. Keep an eye out for old VHS copies as they appear occasionally, though they can be tricky to find in good condition.
