Tokyo Bordello

A businessman’s affairs collapse. He is left with debts he cannot pay. He sells his daughter because of it. The girl’s name is Hisano. He hands her to a brothel in Yoshiwara. Yoshiwara is the great pleasure quarter of Tokyo. The owner of the house sees a chance in the girl. He wants to train her into someone who will draw wealthy customers. Hisano is trained for months. She is taught manners, speech and music. In the end a customer is arranged for her. When that day comes the girl tries to run. Running is not easy, because the quarter is a closed system. The film shows how that system works. Yūko Natori and Rino Katase appear in the hundred and twenty seven minute film, a Japanese production Hideo Gosha finished in 1987.
