1968 Film Editorial note
Shogun's Joy of Torture
Original title: 徳川女刑罰史
Also known as History of Tokugawa Female Punishment
Language Not recorded
Teruo Ishii's 1968 historical anthology centres on opposing attitudes toward punishment, presented through three dramatic stories.
Editorial note
Toei places the film within Ishii's late-1960s studio cycle. It is a source for the cinematic representation of historical punishment, not documentary evidence of Edo-period practice.
