In regard to “Irezumi”, this story was written by one of Japan’s foremost writers of the 20th century, Junichiro Tanizaki. It’s a stylish tale of lust, betrayal and revenge that is set in Edo-era Japan. Actress Ayako Wakao stars as Otsuya, the daughter of a rich merchant, who is tempted into marriage by her lover, Shinsuke, a lowly employee of her father’s. Her father disapproves, so they flee together. On their flight, however, Otsuya’s beauty attracts the gaze of Seikichi, a mysterious master tattoist who sees her pristine white skin as the perfect canvas for his art. The image of the large demonic spider that he emblazons across Otsuya’s back marks her as the property of another man, radically altering her relationships with all around her as her personality transforms under its influence.

This is a very good movie.
