Silent movie night: Jiraiya the Brave

Dear friends,

Join us this Friday (26 January) at 1 pm SLT for another silent movie night in Second Life. We’ll be ending the January Japan theme on a magical note – with *Jiraiya the Brave*, based on an old folk tale. The movie was made in 1921, and directed by Shozo Makino.

Info from YT: Jiraiya (literally “Young Thunder”), the title character of the Japanese folktale Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari (“The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya”), is a ninja who uses shapeshifting magic to morph into a gigantic toad. The heir of a powerful clan in Kyūshū of the same name, Jiraiya fell in love with Tsunade, a beautiful young princess who masters slug magic. His arch-enemy was his one-time follower, Orochimaru, who mastered snake magic.
