世界級鼓藝演出團體「鬼太鼓座」是1969年由創辦人「田耕」（本名田尻耕三）帶領一群醉心傳統太鼓藝術的青年樂手，成立的音樂修行團體，並根據「立地而奔、立地而鼓、立地而舞」的精神宗旨，讓太鼓擊樂與奔跑、舞蹈等肉體鍛鍊融為一體，成為貫徹物我合一的極限演出形式。氣吞山河的鬼太鼓座也使用竹笛、三味線、尺八、箏等婉轉幽遠的日式傳統樂器共奏，藉以達到陰陽調和，剛柔並濟的太極之境…

The Kinema Junpo critics were, of course, mistaken to think that Naruse had abandoned his emphasis on women. His next film, Sincerity, features two strong female characters, played by Irie Takako and Murase Sachiko, each of whom have a daughter. The girls are schoolmates, but one (Nobuko) is from a middle-class home and the other (Tomiko) is from a poor family. Tomiko's mother Tsutako (Irie) is a single mother who works from home as a seamstress, while Nobuko's mother lives in an elegant home with her husband, Kei. Eventually, it is revealed that Kei had a romantic relationship with Tsutako, and may be Tomiko's father as well, but he is conscripted shortly after this revelation and goes off to war.This is very much a home front film, in which the women are involved in supporting activities, and the whole town cheers on the new recruits. As Kei is a banker, he is conscripted as an officer. He is introduced brandishing a magnificent sword, indicating his readiness for his call-up, for which everyone congratulates him when it comes. The wartime context is little more than a backdrop to the story of paternity and former love. The complex emotions among the women are conveyed through cutting on eye movements and eye lines, and through the use of the pastoral location.
