The original work by Aramata Hiroshi was turned into a movie by director Jissoji Akio. The production cost was an unprecedented 1.8 billion yen at the time, causing quite a stir. Shimada Kyusaku's intense portrayal of the demon Kato Yasunori is a character that still sticks in people's minds even about 40 years later.
