Description
[Machine Translation] [A beautiful and dreamy Gion no Yawa (A Gion Night Tale) is set in Gion at the end of the Edo period. A beautiful dream-like Gion nocturne. --On the 17th day of the 7th month of the first year of the Genji Era, the evening is dark and steamy, and the lights are dimly lit by a square andon lantern. Tomi (Sanjo Rikie), a Gion woman who was born in a brothel, became a maiko, then a geisha, and is now the proprietress of Matsuyoshi, a tea house, listens to the shabby sounds of a country tycoon's sake party leaking from the second floor, and worries about the gradual decline of Matsuyoshi. Tomi's daughter, Akira (Hanai Ranko), thinks of the Choshu samurai and feels hopeful about the start of a new era. Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Tomi is taken away by the Shinsengumi under unclear suspicion. The streets of Gion are in turmoil as people flee, abandoning their possessions. Akira evacuates the women of Matsuyoshi, but says he will stay here and wait for Tomi's return. Set on the night of the Hamagurimi-gomon Incident, this is a unique drama that depicts the great flow of the times from the women's perspective.
