Jinbocho Theater in Tokyo will present ten films based on Japanese literary fantasy and aesthetic fiction from November 7 to 27, 2026. The programme centres on works associated with Kyoka Izumi and also includes other writers.
The selection spans films dated from 1952 to 2006 in the organiser’s list. Adult admission is 1,400 yen, senior admission 1,200 yen and student admission 1,000 yen. The theatre will close for equipment checks on November 10, 17 and 24.
International fan outlook and trend context — Editorial forecast
The programme places adaptations of literary works beside films by Shuji Terayama, whom the organiser describes as strongly influenced by Kyoka, rather than limiting the selection to direct adaptations of one author. Editorial forecast: overseas viewers interested in Japanese fantasy cinema may find that wider selection useful because it offers a way to compare direct literary adaptation with a filmmaker’s related artistic influence.
Check the theatre’s official timetable for individual screenings and film details. The announcement does not establish English subtitles, so overseas visitors should confirm language arrangements before choosing a screening.
神保町シアター、鏡花らの文学を映像化した10作品を11月に上映
神保町シアターは11月7〜27日、泉鏡花らの文学を題材にした全10作品の特集を予定。主催者一覧は1952〜2006年の作品を含み、一般1,400円、シニア1,200円、学生1,000円。11月10・17・24日は設備点検で休館する。上映時刻や字幕の有無は劇場へ確認する。
文学の直接的な映画化と、鏡花の影響を受けた寺山修司の作品を比較した。海外の幻想映画ファンには、原作と創作者への影響の両方を考えられる構成が役立つ可能性がある、という編集上の予測。
