The Tale of Oiwa's Ghost


Tamiya, an egomaniacal samurai, is determined to reunite with his wife Oiwa, who left him after a murder scandal. When her sister Osode is tricked into prostitution by a masseuse, Tamiya enlists his friend Naosuke to help turn the situation into a plot to win back Oiwa. However, their scheme becomes complicated when a new girl enters the picture. Tamiya's scheming injustices backfire when they awaken an onryo, a vengeance-seeking ghost.
