*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Lemon played by Tomisaburo Wakayama, known from the Lone Wolf and Cub films, is a samurai without work. He is married with Iwe, but his mother Maki wants him to marry Ume, a women from a richer family. Iwe soon finds out that her housebound wants to leave her for Ume. Maki gives poison to Lemon so he can kill Iwe. She dies but the poison gives her a disfigured face.
***SPOILERS*** Lemon now marries Ume, but on their first night as a married couple, Iwe haunts them. It all ends with Lemon killing Ume, her father and his mother. The ghost of Iwe now can rest. Lemon is slay ed by the people in the village.
A classic kaidan film adapted from the story Yotsuya Kaidan written by Namboku Tsuruya IV (1755-1839). The film is very close to the classic kabuki play, a Japanese theater form. The actor Tomisaburo Wakayama playing Lemon has make-up in the old kabuki style. We are also treated to some nice effects ghost wise. A classic film in the same style as Onibaba (1964) and Kaidan (1964).
