Synopsis

The film opens with a black-and-white preface showing a woman in a traditional kimono climbing stairs while WWII-era Mitsubishi Zeros fly overhead, with footage of the Japanese military from the period superimposed. She stops at the top to pray, rings a bell, and enters a building where the footage transitions to color. Inside, she unwraps her kimono, rubs her face with the fabric, then carefully wraps her blade before tenderly touching it. She draws the blade across her stomach, slits herself open, and falls to the mat. Crawling across it, she bleeds out, slipping in her own blood until she can no longer move.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
