Jewel rediscovered in 2006 and restored. One of the rare cases where the con artist at a wedding is much more beautiful than the real bride who was impersonated. In the midst of the spiritual fervor and the street parades that represent the culmination of the delivery of the wife to the Kazusaya heir, said family of samurai is visually swindled by the beautiful Okichi, who impersonated the maiden for 20 ryo of gold that she did not even receive. Complete (only 5) of the rascals Shohei and Senta5 gold ryo. The momentary reverie lapse of both those involved - the fiancé - and the families involved prevent the deception from being evident until it is too late. The worst thing is that Nisaburo, Okichi's brother, for whom the beautiful liar carried out such frauds, could not save his bankruptcy or the Yamakichio lodging inherited by his parents and had to flee. So, here we go again, to pay off her debts, against her pleasure or will, Dame Okichi agrees to con one last time, cajole Hanjiro, son of the owner of the Kadomasa lumberyard by pretending to be Ohana. Except that she betrays herself and confesses everything to the son of the rich merchant who, even more in love, decides to follow her despite his criminal record and the enemies he has now made. The scene where Okichi makes the shamisen living on the sly with the disinherited youth, is very significant. In the end, the return of the brother and the defense of Hanjiro only causes problems for her, there is not much to understand why Okichi abandons Hanjiro when saying goodbye to his parents to escape from Edo.
