Companies Affiliated: 3Y Films

Synopsis:

The Great Buddha Arrival The Original is a Japanese full-length movie made and released in 1934 (Showa 9) by Edamasa Yoshiro. It is one of the earliest Japanese “Tokusatsu (special effects)” movies, which is exemplified by “Kaiju (monster)” movies. These films established and spread the image of Tokusatsu movies. In the film, the Shurakuen Buddha statue, located in Aichi, suddenly sprang to his feet and wandered around Nagoya city. The story became even stranger when Heaven and Hell appeared later in the film. Unfortunately the film was destroyed during World War ll. In 2018, more than 80 years after the debut of the original film, notable film makers/Tokusatsu fans came together to reboot the film for a whole new generation. They were eager to redefine the original film, which is widely regarded as the most important in the history of Tokusatsu, and to share its value with future audiences. A lot of themes from the original film's story are still relevant today; the idea of life and death, tension of war, and the story of the suicide incidents of 1933.
