Shimizu Hiroshi Collection - Part 2 Kodomo No Shiki (Four Seasons of Children)

Kodomo no Shiki is the second boxset release in the Shimizu Hiroshi Collection. This four-disc boxset comes with four of Shimizu's representative films: Children in the Wind (1937), Nobuko (1940), Mikaheri no Tou (1941), and Four Seaons of Children (1939), which is only being released with this boxset as a bonus feature.
One of the undisputed masters of Japan cinema, Shimizu Hiroshi (1903-1966) made well over 100 films in his career, ranging from children's films to lighthearted comedies to stories from the fringe. His outstanding cinematic achievements match that of contemporary great and lifelong friend Ozu Yasujiro, though the latter has eclipsed him in recognition. Shimizu Hiroshi is particularly well known for his children's films, but his steady stream of output for Shochiku from the 1920s to 1950s yielded a far wider selection of films, many of which have been sadly lost to time. In comparison to Ozu's films which are readily available, Shimizu's works have been near impossible to find outside of the festival circuit, but Shochiku is now finally releasing Shimizu's films on DVD with English subtitles. ~from yesasia~
