In the original, this darkness (闇) is not mere darkness, but that of the Buddhist bardo (中有). This is crucial because right-vs-wrong does not exist in the bardo. In other words, Rashōmon is then not so much a story of subjectivity vs objectivity, but rather a deemphasis on objectivity altogether.

Gerade musste ich #Rashomon (1950) in der neuen 4k Version von 2022 auf einem altertümlichen blue-ray Medienträger bestellen, weil das British Film Institut kein Streaming außerhalb von Brexitanien erlaubt. Ja, auch VPN bringt nix, da man eine in UK registrierte Kreditkarte benötigt. Bei Auhändigung des Films muss der Postbote mein Alter überprüfen laut Versandbeschreibung. Total plemplem. #kurosawa
There are a few names in Japanese for a knife like this. The maker of this knife, Hattori Ichiro, calls it a "katana knife" for the American market. I prefer a different name.
In the movie Rashōmon, the dagger wielded by The Wife character is precisely this style, and the word used in the movie is 短刀 (tantō). This is the best word for this dazzling machine.

Going to watch #AkiraKurosawa s #Rashomon tonight at #TheCurzon community picture house in Clevedon. Very excited as it will be my first time seated on the recently reopened balcony. It’s a great old cinema, been in continuous operation for over 100 years (except for covid). #cinemastodon #film #cinema #kurosawa

As it turns out, I shouldn’t have combined drinking with browsing #NESIMedia and accidentally purchased #Ibaraki’s #Rashomon for more than I would have. I do not regret my purchase, however, after listening to #CattleDecapitation’s #DeathAtlas from them.
