Rope and Skin 団鬼六 縄と肌
Nishimura Shōgorō's 1979 Nikkatsu period film from a Dan Oniroku story, the farewell film of Tani Naomi.
Rope and Skin (Dan Oniroku: Nawa to Hada) is a Nikkatsu Roman Porno film released on July 21, 1979. It was directed by Nishimura Shōgorō from a screenplay by Matsumoto Isao based on a story by Dan Oniroku, and runs 70 minutes according to allcinema and English Wikipedia.
Tani Naomi plays Okoma, a woman gambler who returns home to find her old boss dead and his territory under threat from a rival gang. English Wikipedia notes that, unlike most Roman Porno films of the late 1970s, it has a period setting, and that critics have compared it with Toei’s yakuza films.
The film was Tani’s last. Both English Wikipedia and Dan Oniroku’s official chronology describe it as her retirement film; Wikipedia adds that she left at the height of her popularity and that the farewell project received a larger budget than usual. Dan’s chronology counts fifteen films in the SM line built around Tani and his stories before her retirement, and calls the pairing a reliable earner for Nikkatsu.
