Notable is Satsuo Yamamoto's 1968 version, filmed for Daiei Studios. It is variously known as "Bride from Hell," "Haunted Lantern," "Ghost Beauty," "My Bride is a Ghost," "Bride from Hades," or "Peony Lanterns". Yamamoto's film roughly follows the Otogi Boko version of the story, establishing protagonist Hagiwara Shinzaburo as a teacher who flees an unwanted marriage with his brother's widow & lives quietly some distance from his family. The usual encounter with Otsuyu follows, although the inevitable consequence is treated as a happy ending or at worst bittersweet since they are united beyond the grave & need never again be lonesome.
