To
satisfy her lover's fetish for tattooed women, Akane agrees to an elaborate
body tattoo created by a legendary master named Kyogoro. He has developed
a secret inking technique, whereby his assistant Hautsune keeps the subject's
mind off the extensive pain through sex. Thus artist Kyagoro is using
the sexual act to support his act of creativity, and pain is transformed
to lust.
This film was a departure for actress Utsunomiya, as she was best know
for her TV work, especially on the Zatoichi series. Among
her few theatrical releases was Sonny Chiba's brilliant actioner BULLET
TRAIN. The male lead is Tomisaburo Wakayama, an actor who starred
in numerous classic films (ie,GHOST
STORY OF YOTSUYA, WICKED
PRIEST, et al) but he will always be remembered as Itto Ogami
from the incredible LONE
WOLF AND CHILD [BABY CART] series.
