Sakuran

Limited Edition

Anna Tsuchiya is Kiyoha, sold into a brothel at a tender age and trained as a courtesan. Can love provide an escape for a woman in her position?

Ancient Edo's legendary Yoshiwara red-light district is brought back to life in Sakuran, the dazzling debut of acclaimed photographer Mika Ninagawa (Helter Skelter), based on the popular manga by Moyoco Anno. Rockstar Anna Tsuchiya (Kamikaze Girls) is Kiyoha, sold into a brothel at a tender age and put to training as a courtesan. As Kiyoha's rebellious spirit and renowned beauty provoke the jealous rivalry of the other girls in the establishment, the possibility of romance raises its head, but can love provide a genuine possibility of escape for a young woman in her position, in a refined sensual world where looks and deportment are everything? With its super-saturated colors and striking art design, Sakuran is a delicious feast for the eyes.

is a post-modern, post-millennial joy that also features an original score by J-Pop Queen, Shiina Ringo.
