Tortured Lovers (Episode 1)

By Vera Payne

Saito Kengen is a ronin – a rejected samurai - roaming the countryside in search for a new master after a new ruler has taken over. He makes a happenstance erotic and steamy encounter with an unknown dame, Mariko, and shortly after he rescues her from a vicious and sadistic husband. The chemistry between them is reignited when Saito makes a bold move into the lady’s castle and the nights in the lady’s castle are painted in crimson lovemaking till break of day.

Their little paradise comes under threat when Mariko’s step mother-in-law discovers the couple’s secret and spins a web of debauchery and domination around the two lovers with the view of achieving her political ambitions. As the three of them whirl away in a dance of oriental perversion, Saito needs to figure out how he will escape from the sadistic clutches of the insatiable lady whose varied pleasures knows no limits.

Since the turn of the 15th century and the rise to power of the Tokugawa clan, the road had transformed itself into a bustling and vibrant artery of the country linking the new shogunate capital of Edo to central Honshu. The flow of travellers and transport of a variety of wares was ever increasing and at the last post-station town of Hakone, the innkeeper warned that the control checkpoints delays were getting unbearable leading to occasional skirmishes between weary travellers and the guards.
