Part of director Seijun Suzuki's absurdist Taisho trilogy, this surreal tale follows 1920s painter Yumeji Takehisa (Kenji Sawada), who strays from his lover when he falls for the beautiful and newly widowed Tomoyo (Tomoko Mariya). Meanwhile, Tomoyo's slain husband, Wakiya (Yoshio Harada), returns from the dead to torment his murderer, the jealous Onimatsu (Kazuhiko Hasegawa), who hopes to put the ghost to rest for good.
