kochiyama soshun_1

In a seedy district of Edo, Sôshun Kôchiyama owns
an inn where gambling is rife. To make up for her
younger brother Hirokô’s mistakes, Onami, a
young woman running a sake stall, has no choice
but to sell her body. Hearing what she has to do,
Sôshun Kôchiyama and his associate, wandering
samurai Ichinojô Kaneko, decide to protect the
two youngsters even at the cost of their own lives.
Considered a masterpiece of Japanese cinema,
Kôchiyama Sôshun is one of the three films made
by film-maker Yamanaka Sadao.
