This is quite a special project. My first ever (and likely only) period piece fansub. I stumbled across this show randomly and was surprised to see that the legendary Meiko Kaji starred in a TV "Jidaigeki" back in her golden age of starring in many of her all time greats, yet the show remained fairly obscure. It never even got a home release. However, finding RAWs of the show proved basically impossible, until I got lucky and a mutual connected me with the person behind the awesome social media account "Fuck Yeah! Meiko Kaji" who happened to have RAWs of the show recorded from TV and was willing to share them, so big shoutouts to them.

As usual with these projects, I only had access to the audio for the translation, so please excuse any slip-ups and omitted lines. This was quite a tricky project for me as the audio quality was poor, and the fact that it's a period piece with antique concepts, terminology and speech only added to the complexity, so apologies in advance, but I tried my best. Anyway, enjoy all 9 episodes!
