Plot Summary:Tatsu is a slightly delusional painter who lives in the wilderness. He spends his days painting nothing but the image of his love, a princess he believes to have been incarnated as a dragon. His work is noticed by a servant of Kano Indara, an aging master painter who has no male heir or disciple to pass his skills to. The servant brings Tatsu to Indara under the belief that Indara can help him find his princess in exchange for allowing Indara to pass his knowledge on to him. Once there, Tatsu is led to believe that Indara's daughter, Ume Ko, is the princess. Tatsu agrees to stay, but now that he has found his love he no longer has the inspiration to paint the masterpieces that he once produced. Ume Ko pretends to kill herself so that Tatsu can once again find inspiration through his sorrow, and once he regains this she reveals herself to him. He has learned that "love must be a slave to art", and they live out the rest of their days together, with Tatsu painting her as he once did.
有意思 大量实景拍摄的山水风光 几乎全日本卡司美国片 场景都很考究 院子里的假仙鹤可笑坏我了 早川在片子里留了个21世纪时下潮流的小卷 而被驯服之后换了个小油头 真是毁了/配乐惊人 首先主旋律很中国风 其次摔东西有音效！后半段扮鬼揭示母题的方法很东方了 叠印女主的鬼魂什么的 最后成就画师 有不少很写意的内容和画面
