Kaidan Botan Doro ~ Beauty & Fear

The ghost of Otsuyu (Kamishiraishi Mone), a beautiful lady who died pining of love, visits her beloved Hagiwara Shinzaburo (Nakamura Shichinosuke) every night. This is a scene from the well-known ghost story Botan Doro. The personalities and desires of Otsuyu’s father Iijima Heizaemon (Takashima Masahiro); the loyal Kurokawa Kosuke (Wakaba Ryuya) who serves the family without knowing that Heizaemon slayed his father in his younger days; Heizaemon’s exceptionally wicked wife Okuni (Ono Machiko) who plots to takeover the home; her secret lover Miyabe Genjiro (Emoto Tasuku); and the avaricious couple Tomozo (Danta Yasunori) and Omine (Inuyama Inuko) intersect in this tale of sordid human relationships, revenge and retribution.
