Verhaal:Een jonge nieuwe recruit brengt vernieling in zijn groep Samurai in Osaka in de 1860's. Zijn schoonheid doet de verlangens van iedere lid van zijn burgerleger ontvlammen en maakt hen willoos. In tegenstelling tot de titel (vertaald: taboe) spreken de karakters in de film vrijuit over homoseksualiteit.
