Dan Oniroku: Rope and Skin

Synopsis

A tale of chivalry featuring Okoma of Umeri, whose cunning schemes and bold spirit struck fear into the yakuza during the Taisho and early Showa periods. Despite living happily with the man she loves, her gallant and principled nature—helping the weak and checking the strong—becomes her downfall, forcing her to flee her hometown.

In her absence, her lover takes another woman as his companion but becomes entangled in gambling at a local yakuza establishment, finding himself in dire straits. When Okoma returns, she overwhelms those around her with her dazzling swordsmanship before departing her homeland once more.
