Wiki.
An Innocent Witch (Japanese: 恐山の女, romanized: Osorezan no onna, lit. 'Woman of Mount Osore') is a 1965 Japanese drama film directed by Heinosuke Gosho. It is based on the novel Reiba no onna by Hajime Ogawa. Called "uncharaceristically harsh" for the director by Gosho biographer Arthur Nolletti, the film, produced by Gosho's own production company, was not a commercial success, but is critically acclaimed by film historians.
