Lady Moonflower

The leader of the Shineyuki clan, Monroe Shimahara (played by Kobayashi Kobayashi), combines talent and beauty, and is known as the hope of the Japanese floral industry. Such a creature is naturally the object of admiration and fantasy in the hearts of countless men. The little character Kizaki (played by Konji on Water) admires Shimahara for a long time. To him, Miss Shimahara is like a snow lotus on a high mountain, pure, beautiful, and untouchable. With the opportunity of internal power competition within the flower path, Kizaki's desire was realized. He purposefully met Shimahara's sister (played by Kazuko Nakahara), took photos of her through violent means, and then sent them to Shimahara's office. In order to redeem his sister's film, Shimahara went alone to Kizaki's residence, but fell into a trap that had already been set

Directed by Yukio Kitazawa, Lady Moonflower leans on a strong ensemble — Hitomi Kobayashi, Koji Mizukami, Shôko Nakahara — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1994.
