Synopsis
Isako retourne dans son village natal dans la préfecture d'Aomori, à l’extrême nord de l'île de Honshū, accompagnée par son amant Tetsuo. Tous deux fuient Tokyo car Tetsuo est poursuivi par un clan yakuza dont il a tué le chef. Sans argent, Tetsuo s'ennuie vite dans ce pauvre village balayé par les vents qui fait face à l'océan. Pour passer le temps il s'amuse de Yuki, la jeune fille aveugle que l'on dit née d'un inceste et donne même un coup de main à Tamezo, le pêcheur de coquillages dont le fils a fui le village avec Isako des années auparavant.Actors

Private Mizushima (Shôji Yasui), a Japanese soldier, becomes the harp (or saung) player of Captain Inouye's (Rentarō Mikuni) group, composed of soldiers who fight and sing to raise morale in the World War II Burma Campaign. When they are offered shelter in a village, they eventually realize they are being watched by British soldiers. They retrieve their ammunition, then see the advancing force. Captain Inouye tells the men to sing, laugh and clap, to give the British the impression that they are unaware of their presence. Instead of firing at them, though, the British soldiers begin singing the same melody. They learn that the war has ended with the Japanese surrender, and so they surrender to the British.

The story of the Forty-seven Ronin has been depicted in many ways, with each version focusing the emphasis on different parts of the story—the rivalry of Lords Asano and Kira, Asano's assault on Kira, Asano's sentence of seppuku immediately afterward, and the revenge attack 21 months later against Kira by the Forty-seven Loyal Retainers. Oishi Kuranosuke, Asano's chamberlain and the head of the 47 samurai, is often the primary character, and his actions are often held up as the epitome of bushido, the honor code of the samurai.
