The thesis examines the samurai image portrayed within the film 'Tasogare Seibei' by Yamada Yōji and three novellas by Fujisawa Shūhei, upon which the film is based. An historical outline of the evolution of the samurai and their ideals is provided as a background to the works studied, with emphasis placed on the Tokugawa period. It is demonstrated that through their depictions of samurai, the novellas and the film make a significant social commentary about modernisation and Japanese values concerning power, status and wealth in the postwar period. Two of Fujisawa's novellas relevant to this thesis, 'Hoito Sukehachi' and Tasogare Seibei', have been translated here from Japanese into English. As these works have hitherto not been translated, this will facilitate a degree of access for English readers to Fujisawa's literature, which, aside from a single existing selection of short stories, is to date available in Japanese only.

This work seeks to deepen the studies on the subject in Japanese cinema of the 21st century through Historical research and film analysis. The first focus of the research is to understand the characteristics that make the cinema produced in Japan unique and what are the peculiarities of the samurai, an important character for the Japanese identity and fundamental in Chanbara cinema. After the historical part, the research turned its attention to the elements of the cinematographic atmosphere and its importance for genre cinema. Then, an analysis was made of the creation of the cinematic atmosphere of the films 13 Assassins (Takashi Miike, 2010) and The Twilight Samurai (Yoji Yamada, 2002), works of the 21st century that deserved their prominence in Japanese cinema and the Chanbara genre. / A Chanbara, gênero cinematográfico japonês, popularmente conhecido no ocidente como cinema de samurai, tem como uma de suas principais características a atmosfera cinematográfica, preocupação recorrente do cinema do Japão. O presente trabalho procura aprofundar os estudos sobre o tema no cinema japonês do século XXI, através da pesquisa histórica e análise fílmica. O primeiro foco da pesquisa é entender as características que tornam o cinema produzido no Japão único e quais as particularidades do samurai, um personagem importante para a identidade japonesa e fundamental no cinema de Chanbara. Terminada a parte histórica, a pesquisa voltou atenção para os elementos da atmosfera cinematográfica e sua importância para o cinema de gênero. Em seguida, foi realizada uma análise da criação da atmosfera cinematográfica dos filmes 13 Assassinos (Takashi Miike, 2010) e O Samurai do Entardecer (Yoji Yamada, 2002), obras do século XXI que mereceram seu devido destaque no cinema japonês e no gênero Chanbara.

I have lived in Kyoto for 6 months. During the 6 months, I was intrigued by the Bushido spirit in Kyoto, the core of Bushido is the social stratification and honor unto death. I would like to use the architecture language to demonstrate the Samurai Culture. Earth, Water, Fire, and Air are the elements that I want to consider. When the sword cut into the water, the water stopped for a while, and then it continued flowing, so I made a "Z" shape cut into the earth. I hope there is only a little light in the bottom of the museum. When the glimmer falls on the sword, the beauty of the sword will brighten up the dark room. / Master of Architecture
