Pretentious costumes

Jundie is a geisha with both fame and beauty. His sister Taeko, on the contrary, is an honest clerk at the Kyoto City Tourism Department. The sisters' mother, Akiku, was originally a top-notch geisha in the local area, and later became the concubine of Watanabe, the general manager of the dyeing company. When Watanabe was in trouble, Akiku was forced to sacrifice her eldest daughter to make her a geisha. The young and beautiful Jundie first fascinated the art dealer Kasama, and then captured Yamashita, the general manager of Sokami Maru Honpo. At this time, Taeko fell in love with her colleague Koji, but was unable to get married because of the opposition of her mother Chiyo. Taeko's friend Yukiko came back from Tokyo. After learning about this, she persuaded the two of them to go to Tokyo together to escape from this old environment. However, Koji did not have the confidence to leave home and become independent. In order to take revenge on Chiyo, Jundie seduced her husband. Chiyo went to accuse but it didn't help. Yamashita, who was abandoned and ruined, stabbed Jundie with a kitchen knife in anger. Jundie fell on the hospital bed and watched tenderly the retreating figures of his sister and Koji, lamenting his fate in a low voice... Yoshimura Kozaburo is known as the master of women's films.
