▼Synopsis One day, Nemuri Kyōshirō (Tamura Masakazu) is invited to the home of ukiyo-e artist Gensai (Honda Hirotarō), where he is shown several paintings of bound women, showing expressions of agony, similar to images of hell. Gensai expresses his desire to witness the beauty floating between life and death, and asks Kyōshirō to show him the ““Engetsu““ technique. Kyōshirō declines, arguing that to demonstrate the technique he would have to kill someone. However, Gensai takes Kyōshirō to another room, where he finds a woman tied up exactly as in the paintings. It is revealed that the woman is Gensai's wife, Orin (Kuroki Hitomi), who has long been in love with Kyōshirō and wishes to be killed by him. Kyōshirō cuts the ropes binding Orin and leaves the mansion. In reality, it was all a ruse: Fukami Tenzan (Kawarasaki Kenzō), an official of the lord of the Kurume domain, wanted Gensai to portray the “Engetsu“ technique.... This is the second installment of the drama series featuring Tamura Masakazu Tamura as Kyoshiro. The elaborate film production technique feels reminiscent of a special effects spectacle. In the episode where Kyoshiro's background is unveiled, his tearful lamentation in front of a self-dug gravestone creates a highly impactful scene, especially due to the contrast with his usual demeanor of concealing emotions. Notably, Takeshita Keiko admirably takes on the roles of both Kyoshiro's mother and the spy Mihoyo, adding to the highlights of the drama. ▼About SAMURAI VS NINJA SAMURAI VS NINJA is a brand, which offers more than 500 movies and period dramas featuring the samurai and ninja content.
