    Based on an ancient legend, as recounted by celebrated author Mori \u014cgai (in his short story of the same name, written in 1915), and adapted by Mizoguchi, Sansh\u014d Day\u016b [Sansh\u014d the Steward, aka Sansh\u014d the Bailiff] is both distinctively Japanese and as deeply affecting as a Greek tragedy. Described in its opening title as \u201cone of the oldest and most tragic in Japan\u2019s history\u201d, Mizoguchi depicts an unforgettably sad story of social injustice, family love, and personal sacrifice \u2013 all conveyed with exquisite tone and purity of emotion.

    \u014cgai\u2019s most popular novel, Gan (1911\u201313; part translation: The Wild Goose), is the story of the undeclared love of a moneylender\u2019s mistress for a medical student who passes by her house each day. \u014cgai also translated Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s autobiographical novel Improvisatoren.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    In 1890 he published the story \u201cMaihime\u201d (\u201cThe Dancing Girl\u201d), an account closely based on his own experience of an unhappy attachment between a German girl and a Japanese student in Berlin. It represented a marked departure from the impersonal fiction of preceding generations and initiated a vogue for autobiographical revelations among Japanese writers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
