Mizoguchi’s 30th film, the only complete surviving 1920s work, already examines the clash between tradition and modernity. It contrasts two rural boys—a lifelong coach driver and a student returning from Tokyo with city manners and Western jazz—produced by the Ministry of Education. While the narrative serves a simple lesson‑plan, its lingering lyricism evokes a vanished rural past.
