The complete restored version of "Bakumatsu Taiyouden" has been digitally restored and is now available in a special limited Blu-ray edition with new specifications as the "100th Anniversary Edition of Yuzo Kawashima's Birthday"! --The year is 1862, at the end of the Edo period. Saheiji (Frankie Sakai) takes off his straw sandals to a brothel called Sagamiya in Shinagawa-juku on the Tokaido Highway, and begins a boisterous drinking and singing spree with his friends who are worried about the bill. But to his surprise, he does not have a penny in his pocket... Saheiji, who has been staying at Sagamiya for what he calls "detention," uses his quick wits to solve the problems of the girls and the customers one after another. He also makes friends with Shinsaku Takasugi (Yujiro Ishihara) and other members of the expulsionist group who frequent the brothel, and walks lightly through the turbulent world.
