Season of the Sun (太陽の季節, Taiyō no kisetsu) is a 1956 black-and-white Japanese film directed by Takumi Furukawa.[1]
This film is a 1956 feature film adaptation of Shintarō Ishihara's novel Season of the Sun. It was also noteworthy because it marked the cinema debut, in a supporting role, of Yujiro Ishihara (brother of the author of the novel),[2] who went on to become one of Japan's most successful film stars of the late 1950s and early 1960s (and who remains a cultural icon following his untimely death in 1987).[3]
