Osaka Elegy (Japanese: 浪華悲歌, Hepburn: Naniwa Erejī; lit. "Naniwa Elegy") is a 1936 Japanese drama film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. It forms a diptych with Mizoguchi's Sisters of the Gion which shares much of the same cast and production team, and is considered an early masterpiece in the director's career.
