It takes its title from a gramophone recording of Pablo de Sarasate’s violin composition, Zigeunerweisen, which features prominently in the story. The film makes the first part of Suzuki’s Taishō Roman Trilogy, followed by Kagero-za (1981) and Yumeji (1991), surrealistic psychological dramas and ghost stories linked by style, themes and the Taishō period (1912-1926) setting. All three were produced by Genjiro Arato.
