Tamasaburo Bando (五代目 坂東 玉三郎) as Izumi Kyoka (泉 鏡花) in TEITO MONOGATARI (帝都物語)

Legendary Kabuki performer Bando Tamasaburo V finally got a chance to play as his favorite author Izumi Kyoka in this 1988 film adaptation of Hiroshi Aramata's famous occult novel, TEITO MONOGATARI. It's a shame he doesn't have more screen time, but it was very nice to see him in here nonetheless.
