Overview
New adaptation of Junichiro Tanizaki short story. Seiji, a tattoo artist who returned to Japan following his father’s death, encounters Chisato—a woman who wanders the city streets barefoot. Captivated by Chisato, who lives desperately for the sake of her younger brother and her lover, Seiji becomes consumed by a burning desire to tattoo her back—an act that feels like a defiance against his own failing, illness-ridden body. Meanwhile, Seiji reconnects with his childhood friend, Takashi, who has been living a dissolute life. Together, Seiji, Takashi, and Chisato—who longs to shed her timid self and be reborn—embark on a journey, leaving everything else behind.
