Mother of the Red Hands (1941)

Directed by Motoyoshi Oda

Overview

The title might sound shocking, but the red hands mean, the hands which drag fishnets. Ohama, 15 or 16 years old girl lost her family and lived alone in a fishermen’s village. She is a strong-minded girl and very popular among young children.
I guess that this story is one of the origins of girl’s manga in the 1950s in which I belonged to the first generation of Japanese story manga.

Length 61 minutes
