TOKUGAWA SEX BAN is one of the more extraordinary films to come out of 1970’s Japan, this astonishing mixture of historical epic, sexploitation, grand guignol gore and political intrigue is a real one-off. Director Norifumi Suzuki also helmed the “nunsploitation” classic, CONVENT OF THE SACRED BEAST as well as the notorious S&M themed STAR OF DAVID: BEAUTY HUNTING (1979). This is a first time US release for TOKUGAWA SEX BAN and a world Blu-ray premiere.

In Tokugawa era Japan, Princess Kiyo (Miki Sugimoto), youngest daughter of mighty Shogun Ienari Tokugawa, weds country lord Tadateru Ogura. Unfortunately for Kiyo, her new husband is a “man’s man” who has no interest in women. To help Tadateru discover his sexual side, his courtiers bring in Sandra (Sandra Jullien, star of RAVISHING DANY and SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES), a French courtesan who arrives in a wooden box, like a porcelain doll. Her extraordinary sexual technique awakens Tadateru to the fun he’s been missing all these years. Unfortunately, he enjoys it so much that he decides it’s too good for commoners and so enforces a sex ban on the rest of his subjects, decreeing that any of them having intercourse will be executed. Soon the enraged populace are storming Tadateru’s castle with a battering ram shaped like a giant phallus!
