Inochi no Asa

[Machine Translation] The muse of Nikkatsu, the miraculously pure and innocent star Izumi Ashikawa, is back. Yutaka Abe, a master director since the dawn of Japanese cinema, adapted Saneatsu Mushanokoji's masterpiece "Dawn" into this humanistic drama starring Izumi Ashikawa. --The story is about a painter, Kojiro, who is so devoted to artistic supremacy that he never seems to be able to sell any of his paintings. His daughter Fuyuko supports her father while working for an insurance company, but secretly wishes that he would paint more wonderful pictures. One day, Kojiro hears about the success of his former student, Kawabe, and is greatly motivated to try to paint a portrait of Fuyuko on a 100-size canvas before she gets married. However, despite the support of Fuyuko, his friends and family, Kojiro is unable to complete the painting... Each disc includes a trailer and a gallery.
