Mrs. Yoshino (played by Naomi Tani, the queen of Japanese erotica) is a beautifully elegant, maturing widow who lives a quiet existence with Takako, her teenaged daughter. But when Takako begins a relationship with the handsome Hideo, the simple mom suddenly discovers mysterious feelings of ecstasy and guilt.
In Tattooed Flower Vase, these events are just the beginning of
another "Roman Pink" tale of sexual intrigue. Hideo, we learn, has an uncanny similarity to the man that stole Mrs. Yoshino’s virginity years before. As the story escalates, a severe and perverse rivalry develops between mother and daughter.
Kimstim presents Tattooed Flower Vase on DVD from a digitally restored 16x9 master.
