I'm pretty sure this place exists in the real world. Does anyone know the name of the real samurai village tourist attraction?
Toei Kyoto Studio Park (e 映 太 秦 映 画 村, Tōei uzumasa eigamura) é onde este filme foi filmado. É literalmente o único parque temático no Japão que também funciona como um filme para os filmes jidaigeki .
De um artigo que contém uma entrevista com Seizo Fukumoto:
In “Uzumasa Limelight” he plays an elderly kirare-yaku named Kamiyama, facing the end of his career as the title Uzumasa Studio in Kyoto — a real production studio that has been making period dramas for decades — abandons its declining signature genre. A ray of hope appears in the form of Satsuki (real-life martial arts champion Chihiro Yamamoto), a young actress who is handy with a sword. She becomes Kamiyama’s apprentice, seeking to polish her technique but not knowing if she will ever use it again on the screen.
