Chief among the authors getting this treatment has been Seishi Yokomizo, a prolific writer of murder mysteries whose eccentric detective Kosuke Kindaichi has been read as Japan's answer to Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes.
The Inugami Family is a 1970s adaptation of Yokomizo's The Inugami Curse (1951) and the first of many adaptations directed by Kon Ichikawa that would find great popularity in Japan over the next few years. Written in the immediate aftermath of World War II, The Inugami Family sees Kindaichi navigate the spiteful world of Japanese aristocracy after a wealthy patriarch dies and leaves a juicy will to his greedy descendants.
Directed by Kon Ichikawa
