Irezumi background

Irezumi

A young woman is forced into a life of prostitution, but as she becomes embroiled in the underworld, a spider tattoo on her back becomes a symbol of her growing anger and desire for revenge against the men who have wronged her.

A young woman, Otsuya, flees her arranged marriage only to be betrayed and sold into a brothel. A mysterious tattoo artist, Seikichi, marks her with a grotesque human-faced spider on her back. As she navigates a web of danger and deceit, she finds herself entangled in a bloody conspiracy that threatens to consume her.
