Couple of short stories written by Akira Kurosawa that blend into each other in Kei Kumai's take on the late master's last screenplay. The setting is a brothel in Edo and the characters are the geisha and their lovers who occupy it and the sea that obsereves them. The film doesn't even come close to being called a Kurosawa masterpiece but it does prove to me that Masatoshi Nagase's role in the The Hidden Blade was not just an one off.
