Title: The Burden of Dignity: Economic Precarity and the Fall of the Samurai in The Twilight Samurai

Introduction
Yoji Yamada’s The Twilight Samurai (2002) redefines the jidaigeki (period drama) genre by shifting focus from legendary sword fights to the quiet desperation of low-ranking samurai in mid-19th-century Japan. Through the protagonist Seibei Iguchi, the film explores how the rigid Tokugawa class system fails its most loyal servants. This paper argues that The Twilight Samurai uses realistic domestic detail and restrained violence to critique the gap between bushido ideals and the economic reality of late Edo-period samurai.
