The thirtieth and final film from legendary director Akira Kurosawa joins the Imprint Asia collection, a moving, thought-provoking drama based on the life of academic and author Hyakken Uchida.
In postwar Tokyo, beloved writer-professor Hyakken Uchida retires and is buoyed through hardship by the fierce devotion of his former students. Told in warm, gently comic vignettes, Kurosawa’s farewell celebrates aging, friendship, and the sustaining ritual of teacher and pupils refusing to say goodbye.
