Sada Abe
In 1969, Abe appeared in the "Sada Abe Incident" section of director Teruo Ishii's dramatized documentary , and the last known photograph of Abe was taken in August of that year. She disappeared from the public eye in 1970. When the film "In the Realm of the Senses" was being planned in the mid-1970s, director Nagisa Oshima apparently sought out Abe and, after a long search, found her, her hair shorn, in a Kansai nunnery.
