Based on a classic 18th-century puppet play, this film follows a scroll painter and a merchant’s wife who are caught in a forbidden love. The classic storyline is not their escape, but their capture . They are dragged through the streets tied to horses. The final shot freezes on them tied to a cross. Why? Because in the Japanese classic aesthetic, a love that defies social order must pay a beautiful, tragic price. The audience does not weep for the injustice; they weep for the poetry of the sacrifice.
