A collection of stories dealing with punishment toward women.

Deceived by a handsome man, a young girl is exploited, a rich merchant's daughter's appetite leads her into destruction, and a sadistic lord and a member of his harem share similar tastes. The first story involves a betrayed woman. The second, a woman is turned on by unattractive men. The third, a powerful man, who has a courtyard filled with women wearing red, forces them to strip to avoid being killed.—Edo

Against the backdrop of the golden Edo era, Dr Gentatsu unfolds a spine-chilling triptych of degradation, depravity, and bloody violence. Starting off with the ordeal of innocent Oito, the impassive physician weaves a tale of deception and crooked love as the indebted young girl finds herself at the mercy of her manipulative Yakuza gangster boyfriend Hanji, who forces her into prostitution. Then, the strange, insatiable appetite for perversion and grotesque satisfaction draws Ochise, the kinky daughter of a wealthy merchant, deeper into darkness. Finally, the decadent sadist, Lord Torakichi, takes an immediate interest in beautiful Omitsu, a member of his sultry harem, unaware that there's more to her than meets the eye.—Nick Riganas

It is an anthology of misfortunes and betrayals surrounding the perils and obsessions with lust and taboos. Indentured sex workers vie to escape their fate. A physician is forced to perform a prohibited foreign technique. And a deviant lord struggles on the edge of madness during the Genroku period.—ArtDocHound
