The Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate

The story of Saheij, the charming trickster who has to work off a substantial debt at one of Tokyo’s fashionable brothels, is one of Japan’s most loved comedies. In no time, he manipulates both staff and clients for his own ends, and makes a fortune in the process. An elegant comedy that manages to penetrate the masks, and in which neither nobility nor the common man is spared. krj
