Synopsis

Set in 1862, just before the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, this period comedy follows Saheiji, a witty drifter stranded in a Shinagawa whorehouse due to unpaid debts. Though first seen as a freeloader, he wins over courtesans and staff with his charm and cleverness. Amid a world of schemers, he brings humor and order while hiding his struggle with tuberculosis.
