Ishii Teruo's 1969 Toei anthology places three fictional stories of power and punishment in the Genroku period.
Editorial note
A follow-up to Shogun's Joy of Torture, the film connects Toei's ero-guro cycle with avant-garde performance through the participation of butoh dancer Hijikata Tatsumi. Its staged historical setting should be distinguished from a documentary account of rope practice.
