A lighthearted period comedy about a scheming opportunist navigating life in a brothel during Japan's turbulent transition from feudalism, driven by wit and self-interested charm rather than moral stakes.

Saheji, a man-about-town, gets stuck at a high-class brothel when he can’t pay the bill. He makes the best of his situation by performing various tasks amidst the tumult of the end of the shogunate—but always by making sure to get a “commission” for his troubles.
