Synopsis
Jirozaemon est un riche et honnête fabricant de soie qui avait été abandonné à la naissance par une famille inconnue mais sans doute aisée. Il est affecté d'une cicatrice au visage dont l'extrême laideur fait fuir les femmes. Comme il souhaite une épouse coûte que coûte, des clients lui arrangent des rencontres : en vain. Ils décident un jour de distraire le malheureux en l'emmenant à Yoshiwara, le quartier des plaisirs de Edo (ancien nom de Tokyo). Là-bas, même les geishas ne veulent pas lui tenir compagnie. Seule Tamatsuru, une prostituée de bas-étage sortant de prison et décidée à monter dans la hiérarchie sociale, accepte la compagnie du « monstre ». Celui-ci s'en émeut. Elle lui promet le mariage s'il l'aide à devenir « première courtisane ». Jirozaemon se ruine pour elle, à un moment où son entreprise traverse une mauvaise passe, avant de réaliser que le tout Yoshiwara s'est moqué de lui.Actors

The samurai Sakawa Kojūrō is on the road to Edo with his two servants Genta and Genpachi. Kojūrō is a kindly master, but his character totally changes when he consumes alcohol. On the road, they encounter many different people: a traveling singer with her child, a father taking his daughter Otane to be sold into prostitution, a pilgrim, a policeman searching for a notorious thief, and Tōzaburō, the suspicious man the officer has his eyes on. Genpachi, the spear carrier, is also followed by an orphaned boy named Jirō who wants to be a samurai. When Kojūrō and Genpachi inadvertently capture the thief—who was the pilgrim in disguise—Kojūrō is disgusted when the authorities praise him and not his servant, even though Genpachi probably contributed more. He is also upset that he does not have the money to save Otane from being sold. In the end it is Tōzaburō who saves Otane, using the money he saved to rescue his own daughter, but decided to use for Otane after finding out his daughter had died. Depressed, Kojūrō takes Genta out drinking, despite the protests of the latter. When a band of boisterous samurai complain of Kojūrō drinking with someone of lower birth, Kojūrō gets upset. The samurai pull their swords and kill both the servant and his master. Genpachi arrives too late, but in a fury kills all the samurai with the spear. Authorities do not charge him with a crime, so he heads home carrying the ashes of Kojūrō and Genta. When Jirō tries to follow him, he shoos him off, telling him never to become a samurai.

Hattie has given birth to a baby boy and has a 12-year-old daughter, Violet, who lives in the house. When photographer Ernest J. Bellocq comes with his camera, Hattie and Violet are the only people awake. He asks to be allowed to take photographs of the women. Madame Nell agrees only after he offers to pay.
