This brief chapter looks at the transformation of Tokiko’s story into an occasion for entertainment by examining two postwar renditions of her life: the 1952 novel A Flower’s Life and the 2010 project for a film based on her life as a teacher. Be it by omission or alteration, historical accuracy continues to elude the story of Kurosawa Tokiko.
Keywords: Ii Naosuke, Funabashi Seiichi, A Flower’s Life, spy, film, postwar, nostalgia
