About this listen

Oiwa's beauty was the stuff of legends, captivating all who laid eyes upon her in the bustling streets of Edo. With her long, flowing hair and delicate features, she embodied the ideal of feminine allure in 17th-century Japan. However, her stunning appearance served as both a blessing and a curse. While many admired her, it was the shallow affection of her husband, Iemon, that ultimately sealed her fate. He was entranced by her beauty but devoid of any genuine love or respect, viewing her merely as a trophy rather than a partner. This dynamic set the stage for a tale that would intertwine love and betrayal, reflecting the darker aspects of human nature.
