Abstract

<p>By analyzing From Three to Sex (Danchizuma Hirusagari no joji, dir. Shogoro Nishimura, 1971) and Secret Rendezvous (Danchizuma Shinobiai, dir. Shogoro Nishimura, 1972), starring Kazuko Shirakawa, this paper aims to show that that the danchi wife sought release from being the “danchi wife in a closed room.” The danchi wife is a woman who, while living a seemingly ideal lifestyle, is isolated from society. Danchi-wife films starring Kazuko Shirakawa had a great influence on the danchi-wife image, which portrayed a couple consisting of a danchi wife seeking to be released from the existence of a “danchi wife in a closed room” and an unstable danchi husband, who was entirely integrated into his company. Shirakawa, who married and became a real danchi wife, connected the conflicting images of danchi wife films and “danchi wife in a closed room” and originated the image of the danchi wife in reverse. Despite the fact that Three to Sex and Secret Rendezvous were danchi wife films seeking release from being “danchi wife in a closed room,” they were forged as the origin of the danchi-wife image.</p>
