Limited Edition version.

Directed by Nobuo Nakagawa, The Tale of Oiwas Ghost is a classic Japanese ghost story rooted in Edo-period folklore. The film tells a tragic tale of betrayal, cruelty, and supernatural vengeance, where guilt and moral corruption manifest as haunting visions. Renowned for its atmospheric visuals and restrained terror, it stands as one of the definitive adaptations of the Yotsuya Kaidan legend.

When the daughter of an elite family takes a shine to poor samurai Iemon (Tomisaburo Wakayama, Lone Wolf and Cub), he sees an opportunity to climb the social ladder. He just needs to rid himself of his only obstacle: his loving wife Oiwa. He poisons her and dumps her corpse in a nearby swamp, but she returns as a horribly disfigured ghost to haunt Iemon on his wedding night. Crime film specialist Tai Kato (I, the Executioner) brings the famous Ghost Story of Yotsuya to the screen as a gritty tale of murder and greed, with an intense lead performance by Wakayama (The Bounty Hunter Trilogy, Big Time Gambling Boss).
