Short description
While her son, Kichi, is away at war, a woman and her daughter-in-law survive by killing samurai who stray into their swamp, then selling whatever valuables they find. Both are devastated when they learn that Kichi has died, but his wife soon begins an affair with a neighbor who survived the war, Hachi. The mother disapproves and, when she can't steal Hachi for herself, tries to scare her daughter-in-law with a mysterious mask from a dead samurai.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film's plot is based on a Buddhist parable about an old woman who forbade her daughter-in-law from visiting the temple, blocking her path with a demon mask. As punishment, Buddha made the mask stick to the old woman's face.
- The demon mask in the film inspired William Friedkin, who used its features when creating the female demon in 'The Exorcist' (1973).
