The screenplay was written by Koji Takada, a craftsman known for his gritty, violence-driven works ranging from the *Mamushi no Kyodai* and *Nihon no Shuryo* series to *Proof of the Wild*. Set in Tosa, Kochi, during the Taisho and Showa eras, the film dynamically portrays the drama surrounding Seigo Kiryuin (Tatsuya Nakadai)—a legendary outlaw known as “Oni-Masu”—through the eyes of his adopted daughter, Matsu-e (Masako Natsume), as well as the turbulent days following the birth of his biological daughter, Hanako (Kahori Takasugi). This is a representative work in which Masako Natsume’s all-out performance—despite her untimely death at a young age—became a major talking point; the ensemble cast of alluring actresses such as Shima Iwashita, Atsuko Sendo, Akiko Kana, Akiko Nakamura, and Emi Shindo is also a highlight.
