The main location of shooting this film was Bizen city, Okayama prefecture, Japan. Okayama is located East to Hiroshima. According to some articles, the location is resemble to Hiroshima in mid 1940's and main actors spent there with the film staff about 100 days.
Yoshiko Tanaka, who played Yasuko, died of cancer two years ago. I recently watched her last film "Best Wishes for Tomorrow." The film and "Black Rain" are only films about post WWII she was in. If you like "Black Rain", you should watch the film.
