An all-star cast highlights this Jidai-Geki classic. Set in the samurai era, this is the tale
of period Yakuza. One of the real classics in this genre. In this dramatic portrayal of the
real-life gambling boss Jirocho, a good-hearted and honest boss sets out to take
revenge for a fellow boss.
At the same time, the other local bosses, in a bid to increase
their own power, plot to dispose of Jirocho. Starring Kataoka Chiezo in one of his
signature roles, this is an excellent portrayal of a figure who is not well known outside
of Japan. Co-starring Nakamura Kinnosuke, this exciting tale of period yakuza brings
history to life.
