East Asian Film Remakes, edited by David Scott Diffrient and Kenneth Chan

The remake is a central notion in East Asian culture and applies to most of its cultural heritage with only limited changes. The kimono's sleeves may vary but the idea of the dress itself remains unchanged, and the ceramics may feature a new type of glaze, but the inherent form tends to remain the same. A quick look at Chûshingura [The Loyal 47 Ronin] on IMDB resulted in thirty matches, the earliest production dating from 1910, with remakes in different iterations running up to 2022.
