The story opens on Oharu as an old woman in a temple flashing back through the events of her life. It begins with her love affair with a page, Katsunosuke (Toshirō Mifune), the result of which (due to their class difference) is his execution and her family's banishment. Oharu attempts suicide but fails and is sold to be the mistress of Lord Matsudaira with the hope she will bear him a son. She does, but then is sent home with minimal compensation to the dismay of her father, who has worked up quite a debt in the meantime. He sends her to be a courtesan, but there, too, she fails and is again sent home. She goes to serve the family of a woman who must hide the fact that she is bald from her husband. The woman becomes jealous of Oharu and makes her chop off her hair, but Oharu retaliates, revealing the woman's secret. She again must leave—this time she marries a fan maker who is killed shortly after during a robbery. She attempts to become a nun, but Oharu is thrown out after being caught naked with a man seeking reimbursement for an unauthorized gift (it is made clear this is rape by Oharu's claims and distraught demeanor). She is thrown out of the temple, becomes a prostitute, but fails even at that. In the end, she is recalled to the Lord's house in order to keep secret her activities and to be exiled within the compounds to keep her secrets locked away. While being scolded for the life she chose, she attempts to find her son, and in the process, ends up running away as she chooses the life of a beggar over the life in exile., 1h27

The story centers around two sisters (Umekichi and Omocha), who are geisha, living in an okiya of their own in the licensed pleasure district of Gion, Kyoto. The two women have very different outlooks on relationships with men. Umekichi, the elder sister, is the ideal geisha; she grew up going to dance and music lessons, wears kimono, and has a strong sense of giri, or loyalty, to her patron. Umekichi’s younger sister, Omocha, was educated in public schools and wears western clothing, except when she is working as a geisha. Unlike Umekichi, Omocha doesn’t trust men and believes that they will only use geisha and then abandon them without a care. Thus, she uses men to her own advantage. In doing so she is willing to manipulate and lie to her customers., 1h37

A respected sage tells Miyagi to warn her husband about seeking profit in time of upheaval, and to prepare for a probable attack on the village. Genjurō arrives with his profits, but she asks him to stop. Genjurō nevertheless works long hours to finish his pottery.

1884. La militante féministe, Toshiko Kishida se rend à Okayama, où Eiko Hirayama a fondé une école destinée à promouvoir une conception neuve du rôle de la femme dans la société japonaise. Eiko découvre, par exemple, que Chiyo, la fille des domestiques de sa propre famille, a été vendue à un habitant de Tokyo. Hélas, l'école de Eiko est bientôt fermée par les autorités. Elle se voit contrainte de partir pour Tokyo afin de se rendre au siège du Parti libéral, pourtant menacé de dissolution. Là, elle devient chroniqueuse pour le journal du Parti et se lie avec Kentaro Omoi, le responsable du mouvement. Elle va enquêter, notamment, sur la révolte des fermiers de la soie à Chichibu. Ceux-ci luttent, en particulier, contre les terribles conditions de travail imposées aux ouvrières des filatures. Eiko assiste à l'esclavage de ces femmes qui, de plus, sont souvent battues, torturées voire violées. Parmi celles-ci, elle reconnaît Chiyo. Cette dernière vient précisément d'incendier un bâtiment. Omoi, Eiko et Chiyo sont tous trois accusés de complicité et arrêtés. Chiyo, enceinte, se donne à un gardien dans l'espoir d'obtenir un moyen d'évasion. Au lieu de cela, elle est violemment frappée et son bébé mourra. Plus tard, Eiko apprend qu'Omoi, qui désire l'épouser, a aussi pour maîtresse Chiyo. Omoi trouve cette situation normale. Eiko comprend, dès lors, qu'il y a beaucoup à faire pour modifier la mentalité masculine japonaise. Mais, persévérante, elle continue son combat, d'autant que le contexte politique, désormais plus favorable, lui permet de rouvrir son école à Okayama. Dans le train qui la ramène vers sa ville natale, Eiko est rejointe par Chiyo., 2h4

Sansho the Bailiff is a jidai-geki, or historical film, set in the Heian period of feudal Japan. A virtuous governor is banished by a feudal lord to a far-off province. His wife and children are sent to live with her brother. Several years later, the wife, Tamaki (Kinuyo Tanaka), and children, Zushiō and Anju, journey to his exiled land, but are tricked on the journey by a treacherous priestess. The mother is sold into prostitution in Sado and the children are sold by slave traders to a manorial estate in which slaves are brutalized, working under horrific conditions and branded when they try to escape. The estate, protected under the Minister of the Right, is administered by the eponymous Sanshō (Eitarō Shindō), a bailiff (or steward). Sanshō's son Tarō (Akitake Kōno), the second-in-charge, is a much more humane master, and he convinces the two they must survive in the manor before they can escape to find their father., 2h25
