The film is considered a classic, with indeed Sukekiyo's appearance, as well as the leg-thing, popular memes in the world of Japanese mystery fans. It turned out to be a big hit, and Kadokawa Pictures is still one of the four largest film studios in Japan. When Kadokawa set-up Kadokawa Pictures, it was decided that the movie adaptation of The Inugami Clan would be their very first work. A manga adaptation of Yokomizo's Yatsu Haka Mura (The Village of Eight Graves) and other of his novels became so popular that publisher Kadokawa decided to print paperback releases of Yokomizo's work in the early 70s, which turned out to be fantastic hits, giving Yokomizo a much wider audience than he ever had before. The 1976 movie adaptation by ICHIKAWA Kon was a true landmark in Japanese movie history, and thanks to the book Honkaku Mystery Manga Seminar I mentioned earlier, I learned that it was actually manga that was the cause of the 1970s "Yokomizo Boom". Their names are shortened in the English translation. Trivia: Sahei's three grandsons are actually called Sukekiyo, Suketake and Suketomo. ![]()
