The comedy directed by Mr. Yoji Yamada

named The Story of Tora-san

is well-known in Japan

and even has a certain influence in Asia and even the world. The reason why the play was so successful was not only rely on it’s humor

but also it’s complete differences from Hollywood

showing the unique social conflicts and family conflicts in Japan

reflecting the unique local customs and the most real Japanese traditional culture

which makes the Japanese audience laugh and has a long-term gratitude and triggers their deep thinking. A study on the Tora-san Series Films is equal to a study of the most real Japanese traditional culture.
