Trivia
This film is set in Hokkaido which is an Ireland sized island north of mainland Japan. Haokkaido is not as densely populated as other parts of Japan and has had a good network of decent roads built. These roads are mostly traffic jam free. It is a popular place to visit for a driving holiday.

Connections
Remade as The Yellow Handkerchief (2008)

One of those hilarious, tear-jerkers from the famed director-Yamada Yoji of the Tora-san fame. The three main actors--Takakura Ken, Takeda Tetsuya, and Momoi Kaori, with an appearance from Baisho Chieko-- give an outstanding performance. The storyline is reminiscent of Tony Orlando's song "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree". One of my favorite movies of all time.
