Description:
In Nineteenth Century Japan, various ladies are forced into prostitution in a certain brothel. Here, they’re raped, tortured, and abused, and the human body of each is covered with elaborate tattoos. The musicians creating these, at the same time, participate in a competition to display their skills, which is to be judged by the Shogun. Unfortunately, rivalries amongst these guys, together with the ambitions and greed of the owners of the brothel, lead to murders, attempts to offer women into sexual slavery, and other crimes besides these.

Another Ishii masterpiece; the title suggests a much more sleazy and exploitative film than this is.
