Tattooed Flower Vase

花芯の刺青 熟れた壷
1976 74 min Drama · Romance

As the dancer holds up her hands, the flower's skin opens up, wet, is it the incarnation of a snake?

Life’s quiet corners get stitched into something sticky and floral in 1976. A tidy widow and her teen daughter find their afternoons invaded by a young man who turns out to be the son of her past kabuki flame. By the time petals creep under skin, the bouquet smells faintly of reheated scandal.

Directed by Masaru Konuma · Written by Seiji Matsuoka

Starring Naomi Tani, Takako Kitagawa, Hiroshi Chō, Genshū Hanayagi, Keizo Kanie, Shinsho Nakamaru
