Details
Set in the middle of the Edo period (1603-1867),this tragic love story takes its cue from a celebrated historical case tried by magistrate Tadasuke Ooka, whose shrewd legal decisions became the stuff of legend. Okuma Shirokoya, the daughter of a lumber merchant in Edo (today’s Tokyo),embarked on an affair and was executed after conspiring with her maid to murder her husband.
