Higashi Yoichi was born in Wakayama Prefecture in 1934. He graduated from Waseda University’s Department of Literature. Higashi went freelance after working at Iwanami Film Production Company. His first feature film was a documentary, Okinawa retto ( The Okinawa Islands, 1969).
Higashi opens on two mannequins kissing in motorcycle gear against a stylized backdrop, an artificial ideal of romance that he refutes with a font of glacial pacing, glacial emotions, bubble economy malaise, and an introspective gaze.
