Megastar Kataoka Chiezo is Vice-commander Hijikata Toshizo of the Shinsengumi in this realistic tale of Japan’s inner battles that led to the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate. Excellent performances and extremely good swordplay highlight this glimpse into the heart and soul of Japanese history. Although known as “Razor Blade” Hijikata, the vice-commander is a man of deep conviction with a little-known sense of humanity. Starting after the famed Ikedaya Incident, in which they saved Kyoto from Choshu’s plot to burn the city to ashes, they work hard to change the public’s view of them as merciless killers to their true mission of protecting the shogun. This is an extraordinary tale of blood and guts! From the pen of award winning author Shotaro Ikenami (Bandit Vs. Samurai, Hunter in the Dark, Misumi's The Last Samurai)

Le film "yakusa" decrit les marginaux japonais, samourais dechus, voleurs de grands chemins et joueurs. C'est dans les annees soixante que ce cinema connut une tres grande vogue au Japon. L'originalite de ce film reside dans le fait que le heros est une femme, qui vagabonde d'un pays a l'autre. C'est une joueuse de cartes formidable, elle est dotee d'une capacite invincible dans les arts martiaux et au combat. Les heros des films "yakusa" sont devenus aussi populaires que l'etaient les samourais dans les pieces de theatre de kabuki.

An unusual blending of elements comes together in this crime story drawn from Japanese history. During the early Meiji period a number of “Dokufu” (Poison Women) committed a significant number of murders. These crimes were most often committed by wives on their husbands in order to be together with their lovers. At that time women were executed in the same manner as men, to wit: by being decapitated. This is the story of the most notorious of all, Takahashi Oden who, in 1879, was the last woman executed by decapitation in Japan.
