Housei Suzuki

A master of the silver screen, Housei Suzuki, was born in 1931 in Tokyo, Japan and initiated his active years of directing from 1956. Specializing in the genres of drama and romance, Suzuki is renowned for his iconic films such as "The Wind Rises" and "The Tale of Princess Kaguya," earning him several awards including the prestigious Japan Academy Prize. Unfortunately, Suzuki's authorial style remains largely unexplored in the West.

Suzuki, with his unerring eye for beauty and a heart deeply connected to the human experience, truly is the embodiment of Japan's rich cinematic legacy.
