Synopsis
Atmospheric period Japanese drama following the hotbed of simmering lusts and battles that erupt into violence within a Samurai militia group. When two new recruits - a low-level samurai and a young man so improbably pretty that he could easily pass for a woman - join the outfit it leads to jealous confrontations between the commander and the men.
