A Courtesan with Flowered Skin

A courtesan’s carefully painted skin might crack open at any moment yet Asagiri keeps adding petals. One chance festival meeting with the artisan Hanjiro makes her imagine stepping out from the brothel’s shadow. The film glides backward through lush kimonos and flickering lanterns but forgets to light a path forward.
