Yasuhiko Takiguchi's original work was released in 1958, around the time I guessed. In fact, the problem is not how the director of this film is, the key point is how the original work treats Bushido.
Mr. Takiguchi in 1958 criticized the hypocrisy of Bushido "face" with the ideological prejudice of his time. But the question is, is the man-eating monster in this story really Bushido?
Don't quote the plot. Brainwashed to say "from today's point of view" we're no better than the samurai in the show who don't fit history.
