Yojôhan Fusuma no Urabari plot
Tokyo 1918. Riots regularly break out across Japan over rice price increases caused by the Siberian expeditionary army. The geisha Sodeko spends the night with a new client, Shinsuke. She never expected that as a geisha she could be taken to the highest peaks of ecstasy with a 'beginner client', but this time she loses herself in pleasure. Hanse, another geisha, is ignored by her patron Shinsuke, and tries to dispel her gloom by training a novice. Shinsuke falls for Sodeko and moves in with her.
