Notes:
* The term “jidaigeki” literally means “period piece,” with most jidaigeki dramas being set in the Edo Period of Japanese history, which ran from the early 1600s to 1868.

**In Japan, the term chambara is used for this genre, literally "sword fighting" movies. Chanbara is a sub-category of jidaigeki, which equates to period drama. Jidaigeki may refer to a story set in an historical period, though not necessarily dealing with a samurai character or depicting swordplay.
***Gendaigeki is a genre in which the stories are contemporary dramas set in the modern world.

****A genre dealing with lower-middle-class Japanese family life.
*****Pink film is a style of Japanese softcore pornographic theatrical film. Films of this genre first appeared in the early 1960s, and dominated the Japanese domestic cinema from the mid-1960s through the mid-1980s.
