A superstitious farming family is hesitant to use their prized fallow fields to grow crops to help feed the nation's troops. Kinoshita's rural drama was made to promote the war effort, but his story branches off in many directions, including one subplot about the family's heirloom samurai sword and another about a blossoming young romance.

Release date: 18 November 1943

"19.3. Keisuke Kinoshitan sotapropagandassa samuraikunnian näyttämönä toiminut pelto tarvittaisiin Japanin armeijan pelloksi, mutta itsepintaiset omistajat eivät ole valmiita häpäisemään aluetta yhteisen hyvän vuoksi. Myös miekkamestarin tekemä supermiekka pitäisi saada hankittua perheeltä, jotta kapitalistisikojen päät katkeilisivat kauniimmin. Propagandapuoli ei pääse haittaamaan yhtään, koska Kinoshita osaa elokuvanteon, ja mukana on paljon lämmintä humanismia."
