Mikio Naruse. A young man whose father had been disgraced after losing an archery competition and compelled to commit suicide devotes his entire life to training as a bowman. In order to help him avenge his father's death, the current champion archer assumes a secret identity so he may help train the young sportsman, whose strong commitment may prove fatal. Naruse was renowned for his modern family dramas but this film marked a turn toward more traditional storytelling techniques.
