The tale of Urashima Taro, a kind fisherman who rescues a sea turtle from bullies and is rewarded with a visit to an underwater palace, is a famous Japanese folk legend. Initially thought to be a creation by Kitayama at Nikkatsu studio in 1918, recent findings of stills from the supposed film have surfaced in a magazine, casting doubt on its origins and suggesting it may not be the work of Kitayama after all.
