Tokyo Bordello

This lavishly produced film explores the career of a young girl who was sold into prostitution in 1908 for Yoshiwara District in Tokyo. Ueda Hisano goes through many emotional ups and downs, as do the other prostitutes. The customs of that closed society are re-created in loving detail.
