Kanto Eihai

The roaming outlaw Okayo, also known as Benten due to the prominent tattoo of the Buddhist Goddess of Love emblazoned across her back. On the run from her persecutors, who seek to claim the tattoo and its skin canvas as a bounty, Okayo finds a safe haven in the arms of the mysterious shakuhachi (bamboo flute) playing Seigaku, himself tattooed with the image of Kisshoten, the Goddess of Prosperity.

This humorous film provides a fascinating insight into Japan’s pornographic underworld, following a band of itinerant smut-peddlers, consisting of Hisao, his wife and main model Saku, and their partner in crime Tori, as they arrive, penniless, at a hot spring resort and attempt to make their money selling nude photos, staging live sex shows and screening homemade blue movies.

A Pinku film from the independent production studio Kanto featuring a starring role for the former Japanese sex symbol Hisako 'Choko' Tsukuba.
