Production History
Utamaro and His Five Women was made during the 7-year Allied occupation of Japan which followed World War II. At the time, film production was overseen by representatives of the Occupation forces, and Jidaigeki (period films) like Utamaro were rarely made, as they were seen as being inherently nationalistic or militaristic.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or history:
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
