With Kokuho, director Lee Sang-il has created a visual masterpiece that immerses us in a fascinating part of Japan’s cultural heritage. The film is a journey through half a century of tradition, identity, and human passion – an epic about the price of greatness and what is lost along the way.

The film became a massive box office success in Japan, where it is now the most-watched non-animated Japanese film of all time.
