A Sun-Tribe Myth from the Bakumatsu Era

Yūzō Kawashima · 110 min · Japan

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.
