Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Nihon Ookanemochi riffs on Japanese yokai folklore, specifically money-focused spirits like the zeni-onna, modernized for Tokyo's consumerist shrine.
Director Ueda's background in variety show direction explains the anthology's theatrical, almost sketch-comedy pacing that lulls before the horror lands.
