In 16th century Japan, peasants Genjuro and Tobei sell their earthenware pots to a group of soldiers in a nearby village, in defiance of a local sage's warning against seeking to profit from warfare. Genjuro's pursuit of both riches and the mysterious Lady Wakasa, as well as Tobei's desire to become a samurai, run the risk of destroying both themselves and their wives, Miyagi and Ohama.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting meditation on desire and consequence set in warring Japan, where two men's hunger for wealth and status lures them into supernatural danger and moral ruin. The film moves with dreamlike inevitability, blending folkloric beauty with creeping dread as the men's choices unravel everything they hold dear.
