Purchase Lady Snowblood

There have been a number of different international releases of Lady Snowblood, and rather than list them all, I've opted to list only the ones I I think are of interest. No slight on countries whose versions are not represented, but if the release is bare bones or without unique special features, then I probably left it off. Similarly, many of the releases are available at multiple sites on the internet, but I've chosen to only list a few reliable sites.

I do try to use affiliate links as much as possible. If you purchase an item through many of the links here, I will get a kickback that I promise to use for Meiko Kaji related purposes.

If you have any suggestions or links you'd like to see added here, or if you have scans of the booklets or video of the interviews from any of the special features, please visit the Contribute page and share them!
