Haunted by guilt and ghosts, he commits suicide and his mistress, Okuma, takes his money. His son, Shingaro, returns home from samurai training only to learn of the death of both his parents. One of Soetsu's daughters, Oshiga, sets up her own business by taking over the shop of Tominoto as master teacher. Osono, Soetsu's younger daughter, has no choice but to become a geisha. Leading a dissolute playboy lifestyle, Shingaro goes to the geisha house where Osono works. When Osono finds out that his father has killed her father, Osono too commits suicide. At the same time, Oshiga meets Shingaro and falls in love, declaring her devotion to him by cutting off her little finger. One of Oshiga's workers, Ohisa, saves her mistress when the former shop owner, Madame Tomimoto, now a mere salesperson, gets her revenge by pouring boiling water on Oshiga's face, greatly disfiguring her beauty. While Oshiga is recovering, she is torn by jealousy and doubts about Shingaro, who is actually having an affair with Ohisa. Shingaro kills the insanely jealous Oshiga and runs away with Ohisa. They get 520 lost in the same swamp where Soetsu's body had been disposed of, and, doomed by the bad karma of all the deaths he has caused, Shingaro and Ohisa sink slowly into the depths of the swamp.--Mariko Ikkai, Lisa Berkson. 546 In Japanese with English subtitles. 590 PFA 3500-01-4120. |aCOPY-SPECIFC DESCRIPTION: 5 reels of 5 (82 min.) : Daieiscope, sd., col. ; 35 mm. print. |aCONDITION NOTE: Described: 1976; Print in good condition; color good; subtitles satisfactory CONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 2004/5/6 good/fair condition; color is faded; some intermittent heavy scratches, but mostly light to no scratches; very oily and dirty 650 0 Adultery|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Extortion|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Ethics|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Ghost plays|zJapan|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Love|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Mistresses|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Murder|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Prostitution|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Rape|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Revenge|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Samurai|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Suicide|zJapan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 650 0 Supernatural|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 651 0 Japan|vDrama|yEdo period, 1600-1868. 655 7 Historical re-creations.|2mim 655 7 Drama.|2mim 655 7 Features.|2mim 690 Japanese films. 700 1 Yasuda, Kimiyoshi,|d1911-1983. 700 1 Asai, Shōzaburō. 700 1 Makimura, Chishi. 700 1 Naitō, Akira,|d1927- 700 1 Kaburagi, Hajime. 700 1 Suganuma, Kanji. 700 1 Ishiyama, Ritsu. 700 1 Kitajima, Maya. 700 1 Kasahara, Reiko. 700 1 Mizugami, Ryūko. 700 1 Tanaka, Mitsuko. 700 1 Ishiyama, Kenjirō. 710 2 Daiē, Kabushiki Kaisha. 935 GLADN17641811 941 0 PFA 3500-01-4120. 35 mm. 954 20120801|bMarcive Authority Bib 956 20140224|bPFA migration/merge load 957 OCLC xref loaded 20140309 994 02|bCUY
