Contains Nudity & Violence

In a world where chains of bondage hold hearts for ransom, only a few Geisha have what it takes to break free!

Yokiro was the most successful Geisha house in Western Japan during the first half of the 20th century, and remains open to this day. At its peak, it was home to over 200 geisha, but behind the glamorous facade, there were many battles - between family members, men and women, and with the Yakuza.

Momowaka was sold to Yokiro at age 12, and despite being the top geisha, her many complicated relationships provide unending challenges throughout her glamorous but turbulent life.

  • Winner of 11 movie awards + 3 nominations.
  • The most controversial Geisha film ever made.
  • By renowned director Hideo Gosha (Sword of the Beast, The Wolves).
  • All-star cast including Ken Ogata (Ballad of Narayama).
