Development
Tomu Uchida's Idea to develop Tsuchi was turned down by Nikkastu, the studio who Tomu Uchida was under contract with. The following year, while Uchida was working on other projects for the studio, he was filming Tsuchi unauthorized. This secret filming included on location shooting in Northern Japan. Once Nikkastu had caught wind of what was happening it was too late. The production was too far along for Nikkastu to halt production. The studio feared loosing faith with it's workers who had already put in a lot of time making the film. Nikkastu ended up releasing the film to the public in 1939.
