It is the turn of the century.
Yuki is a woman in search of revenge,
in search of 4 people who killed her father and older brother before
she was born. At that time,
rumors circulated that men dressed in
white were tax collectors - so it was awfully unfortunate
for him, a school teacher on his way to his new job at a
small village, to be wandering around in a brand-new white
suit.
After mercilessly killing him, the miscreants
beat and rape Yuki's mother, and one of them takes her to
Tokyo to use as his slave. She murders him in revenge, but is
imprisoned for life before she can hunt down the other three.
By seducing the prison guards, she becomes pregnant, and
dies soon after she gives birth to Yuki. As she lies dying,
surrounded by her fellow prisoners, she prays that Yuki
will complete her vengeance.
One of the other prisoners and a priest raise Yuki. The priest
trains Yuki in the arts of death, so that she may be able to
fulfill her mother's dying wish.
As she follows the clues that lead her to each of the remaining 3
marked for death, Yuki soon becomes known throughout Japan as
Lady Snowblood!

will win a reprieve.
