## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A Kyoto pleasure quarter at height of Genroku gold, silk sliding against a geisha’s wrist.

Three women drawn into pleasure houses where pleasure is a blade. First, a courtesan tricked into a mirrored cell. Second, a mistress locked inside a cedar chest. Third, a nun’s forbidden dance with a blind swordsman.

Teruo Ishii’s Edo under silk and blood, the camera licking wounds like lacquer.
