＜STORY＞
KUROKI’s “The Assassination of Ryōma” (1974) depicts the last three days in the life of SAKAMOTO Ryōma (1836-1867). At a time of intense social and political turmoil, Ryōma, NAKAOKA Shintarō, and the Ishin Shishi—a group of paramilitary political revolutionists fighting to end Japan’s feudal dictatorship—are portrayed as outlaws. KUROKI uses a rough black and white backdrop to highlight the revolutionists’ antagonism and comradery.
