The Burmese Harp is a 1956 Japanese drama war film. It features Rentarô Mikuni, Shôji Yasui, Jun Hamamura, and Taketoshi Naitô.
At the close of World War II, a Japanese army regiment in Burma surrenders to the British. Private Mizushima is sent on a lone mission to persuade a trapped Japanese battalion to surrender also. When the outcome is a failure, he disguises himself in the robes of a Buddhist monk in hope of temporary anonymity as he journeys across the landscape, but he underestimates the power of his assumed role.
