This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
This is one of first Japanese horror movies which I have in my collection.Painter is leaving for awhile his family to paint dragons in rich mens house.Lonely ruthless samurai fall in love with his wife and raped her.Samurai attacked and kill all of painter's servants and drowned them in lake. Ghosts of painters and servants returned to world of alive to make revenge on samurai and help newborn baby of painter to escape the death. Painter's ghost after revenge finished his dragons and disappeared. The story of this movie is typical for kaidan movies of that period but visually is very valuable product for all Japanese horror lovers.
