Shinonomero Onna no Ran

[Machine Translation] To float or to sink? The gorgeous women's mansion every night. The women who challenged the Meiji Era from the bottom of the wacky world. Once upon a time, in Kumamoto, Kyushu, there was a brothel called "Shinonome-ro" that flourished as one of the leading brothels in Japan, full of splendor, beauty, and extravagance. It was a pleasure house that entertained and played with men, and the various women who lived and worked there were all in a state of upheaval. The three women, Tsuru, Shizu, and Teruka, as well as numerous geisha and ochako (tea masters), burn with passionate love for their men and bear their own karma, creating a fierce spark of love and hate. Their obsession eventually leads to flames and mayhem among the burning women, and the drama of love, hatred, and revenge reaches "the ultimate in turbulent beauty. Rino Katase plays the glamorous and sexy proprietress Tsuru, and Keiko Saito gives a graceful performance as Shizu, who is torn between the man she loves and the woman who loves her like an older sister. Yoko Minamino also takes on the role of Teruka, a woman who becomes the mistress of a woman's face, and who is trying to take her place as the landlady, in her first role as an evil woman. Director Ikuo Sekimoto dynamically directs with passionate passion the screenplay by Hiroo Matsuda, which depicts women who live robustly and dutifully in the brothels. This is a great work of women's literature and art that vividly, beautifully, and gorgeously depicts the vitality of women in Meiji Japan. New print component master. First DVD release.
