About Junichi YASUDA
安田淳一
Junichi YASUDA, born in Kyoto in 1967, worked in video production following his studies at Osaka University of Economics. In 2014, he founded his own company, Mirai Eigasha, and made his debut feature film, THE GUN AND FRIED EGG. After the death of his father in 2023, he took over his family’s rice farm. A SAMURAI IN TIME (2024 / NC ‘25) has received recognition at multiple international film festivals. The independently-produced film was a box office success in Japan and was awarded both at the 48th Japan Academy Film Prize and the 67th Blue Ribbon Awards.
