Tōjin Okichi (ja|唐人お吉), Okichi, Mistress of a Foreigner or Mistress of a Foreigner, is a 1930 silent drama film by Kenji Mizoguchi, based on the novel by Gisaburō Jūichiya. Only a fragment of the film has known to have survived.
Tazuko Sakane, who later became the first Japanese woman director, served as script assistant and assistant director on the film.[3]
Jūichiya's novel was again adapted for film in 1937 under the title Tōjin Okichi Kurofune jōwa.[4]
A 4-minute-long sequence has been published on DVD as complement to Mizoguchi's Orizuru Osen by Digital MEME in 2007.[5]
