[ Story ]
Hoping to bring pointed significance to the use of color for what was to be his first color film, Gosho turned to the world of child psychology. The film tells the story of Kiyoshi, a young boy emotionally estranged from his parents after his father's return from war, whose ominously colored drawings prompt concern from his teacher. An exploration from a child's perspective into the state of the postwar family and its war-inflicted scars, the film went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 1958. Playing the role of Kiyoshi is SHITARA Koji, a famous child actor known also for his appearances in the films of OZU Yasujiro, among others.
