About

Tazuko Sakane (坂根 田鶴子, Sakane Tazuko, December 7, 1904 – September 2, 1975) was a Japanese film director. She was Japan's first female director, followed by Kinuyo Tanaka. Her first feature film New Clothing (初姿 Hatsu Sugata, 1936) is known to be a first Japanese feature film directed by a female. Majority of her films are educational nonfiction films produced by Manchukuo Film Association for Japanese immigrants and Manchu in Manchukuo. Her only known surviving film is known to be Brides on the Frontier (開拓の花嫁 Kitaku no Hanayoume, 1943). She worked closely with a Japanese Director Kenji Mizoguchi and credited as an Editor and/or Assistant Director for over 15 films directed by him. While growing up, her father, a wealthy businessman, often took her to the cinema. She graduated from Nikkatsu Uzumaki girls school in 1929.
