Description

When the love affair between Oharu and the page Katsunosuke comes to light, both are punished because of the class difference. Oharu’s family is banished, and Katsunosuke is executed. After a failed suicide attempt, Oharu is sold as a mistress to Lord Matsudaira, to whom she is to bear a child. Matsudaira, however, falls in love with Oharu, and the jealousy of his wife leads to Oharu’s expulsion. Although Oharu bore him a child as he wished, she is paid only minimal compensation. Oharu’s further path in life is very multi-faceted: she tries her hand as a courtesan and then places herself in the service of a woman; she marries a fan manufacturer and then enters a temple as a nun.
Als die Affäre zwischen Oharu und dem Pagen Katsunosuke ans Tageslicht kommt, werden beide aufgrund des Klassenunterschiedes bestraft. Oharus Familie wird verbannt und Katsunosuke wird hingerichtet. Nach einem gescheiterten Selbstmordversuch wird Oharu als Mätresse an Lord Matsudaira verkauft, dem sie ein Kind gebären soll. Dieser verliebt sich jedoch in Oharu, und die Eifersucht von Matsudairas Frau führt zu Oharus Rauswurf. Obwohl Oharu ihm wie gewünscht ein Kind gebar, wird ihr nur eine minimale Entschädigung ausbezahlt. Oharus weiterer Lebensweg gestaltet sich sehr facettenreich: Sie versucht sich als Kurtisane und stellt sich anschließend in die Dienste einer Frau; sie heiratet einen Fächerhersteller und tritt danach als Nonne in einem Tempel ein.

Anmerkung:
Die deutsche Erstveröffentlichung erfolgte als TV-Premiere im »ARD«.
