Hi Pakalau,

Aizen Katsura is a rare and special film. I wasn't able to find a
source where you can purchase a copy. However, I have located a source
where you can borrow the film. If you are located in the US and/or
willing to travel or communicate with the source, I can give you the
details you need. They may be able to help you obtain a copy of the
film.

Please respond if you'll accept this as an answer and I'll post the
details for you. Thanks.

Regards,
Feilong

Hi Pakalau,

First of all, thank you very much for allowing me to post an answer.
Sorry for the delayed response as I'm having intermittent connection
problems. I made a second, more in-depth search of the Internet for a
source including ebay and Amazon but failed to find any. I have no
other choice but to stick to my proposal which I believe could be of
help to you. We can only find very few sources from the Internet so I
hope you understand.

The link below is a list of Japanese films that can be found at the
East Asia Library of the University of Washington. The movie title is
