Q12I am a University of California graduate student doing research on Nichirenshugi and Tanaka Chigaku. I am interested in the connection with Miyazawa. First of all, I heard there was a film about Kenji. If you know the title, can you tell me what it is please? Secondly, if you could refer me to any resources, in Japanese or English, on Kenji's relationship with Tanaka and Nichirenshugi, I would greatly appreciate it. (Gerald Iguchi)

Dear Gerald Iguchi
Thank you very much for your visiting our website.

Two major films about Kenji were produced recently.
One of them is "Miyazawa Kenji---sono ai " directed by Seijiro Kohyama (_RY) distributed by Chochiku. The other is "Waga kokoro no Ginga Tetsudou " directed by Ohmori Kazuki and distributed by Toei.

You can read a brief biography of Kenji written by Roger Pulvers in our website and you can find descriptions Kenji's relationship with Nichirenshu.

I think that most important resources concerning your theme are Kenji's letters gathered in Kenji Zenshu.

Sincerely,
