A trio of characters in Edo intersect during a time of puritanical social reform. A ner-do-well, Naojiro, wants to become an actor and get his face in prints (this was the Japanese version of the supermarket tabloids in olden times) and he wants to marry a geisha but his overbearing mother disapproves. A man who abandoned his wife and child returns to discover tragedy has befallen his small family. A "buraikan" plots to overthrow the despotic lord who is imposing the strict social reforms. (imdb)

Here's hoping the criterion people will do something with this obscure gem of a film. It's been apart of their streaming service for the past few years (along with many other films from Masahiro that deserve more attention).
