Visiting a Veteran of the Zatoichi Series!

Earlier this afternoon (Saturday, June 17), I stopped by Roppongi after work to view a dramatic reading headlined by actor Shoji Mori. I didn't get to see much of the performance, but I went to say hello to Mori-san. I greeted him after the show and took the photos in this blog post.


As readers of this blog ought to know by now, Shoji Mori began his career primarily in television during the mid-1960s, but by the '70s he began appearing in some notable films. Among his credits are: Zatoichi and the One-Armed Swordsman (1971), Woman Gambler's Iron Rule (1971), Zatoichi in Desperation (1972), and Slaughter in the Snow (1973). On TV, Mori-san appears in episode 3 of Kamen Rider Super-1 (1980-81), and episode 3 of the third season of the Shin Zatoichi TV series (1979).

And that's a wrap!
