Yuriko Hishimi as Natsu

Yuriko Hishimi is Natsu, a golddigger in old Japan who isn’t interested in romance, only money. Her sister (Maki Tachibana) believes in love and marriage and that her loser husband is ok...



UNTIL she gets sold to a neighbor for the night for 10 gold coins by him. Afterwards she comes home to catch him red handed raping her sister after killing her father. In a daze she stabs and kills him and they dump him in the swamp.

Overwrought with guilt she decides she must sleep with 1000 men to atone for her crime…

Meanwhile, Natsu isn’t fazed and instead seeks revenge on the silk merchant that thought she was too low rent for his father’s high standards, marrying a ‘nice’ girl. And boy does she get her revenge!...



If the ‘fan’ subtitles are legit, I thought this was a pretty funny little tale (clocking in at a modest 67 minutes) with some life lessons, some funny dialogue, and of course lots of skin.
