Really like your comparison between the “mie” pose on the kabuki stage and the seeming paralysis of Tsushima’s female characters. There may even be a bit of bravado in both!
Could be. I felt it unusual that in this, after all a small selection of stories, that there were quite a few such moments, so it came to my attention. "Paralysis" is an excellent word to have used for many of the characters. Unfortunately, I didn't think of it. Thanks!
