A Sun-Tribe Myth from the Bakumatsu Era
1957/07/14 (US) | Comedy
Saheji, a man-about-town, gets stuck at a high-class brothel when he can’t pay the bill. He makes the best of his situation by performing various tasks amidst the tumult of the end of the shogunate—but always by making sure to get a “commission” for his troubles.
