The film stars two of Itami's regular actors, Nobuko Miyamoto as a geisha who brings luck to the men with whom she sleeps, and Masahiko Tsugawa as her unfaithful, sometimes partner. As well as showing her relationships with the man she loves and the men who employ her, it satirizes corruption and the influence of money in Japanese politics.

After the Expo ’70 Destruction Joint-Struggle Group disbanded, Katō released Brahmin (Burāmin, 1971-76).

The White Hare of Inaba is a film directed by Katō Yoshihiro, a central member of Zero Jigen, with cinematography by the filmmaker Ōe Masanori. Drawing on the Japanese myth of the white hare of Inaba, it presents a white hare (i.e. woman) leaping across waters full of ferocious sharks (i.e. male-dominated society), presenting a vision for a new era while capturing on film the joy of human beings’ inherent Eros and a new mode of “family” that breaks free of feudalistic social constraints.

O filme nos apresenta uma mostra da cultura gay japonesa em fins da década de 1960. Usufruindo da inclusão de ornamentos visuais vindos diretamente do mundo do design gráfico, da pintura, quadrinhos e da animação contemporânea, Toshio Matsumoto adentra a Novelle Vague japonesa com uma obra totalmente inovadora e polêmica. Sexo, nudez, consumo de drogas e o cotidiano de travestis foram articulados e trabalhados com uma desenvoltura ímpar. Um choque febril entre a estética de vanguarda e os sobressaltos típicos de filmes B. Em meio à sexo e violência, presenciamos um triângulo amoroso: Eddie é um jovem travesti, que se torna o mais popular do clube em que trabalha e inicia um romance com o companheiro e cafetão de Leda, um travesti que fora a grande estrela da noite, mas que com o passar dos anos já perdeu o encanto.

The story of a sexy girl with a passion for attracting men and counting the money she entices from them with her body.
