The second collection of erotic dramas about mature married women, inspired by popular Showa-era widow films and the daytime melodramas that captivated housewives. Twelve stories span the late Showa bubble years through the Heisei era, including a beautiful widow’s sexual-assault ordeal and the wavering desires of working-class and upper-class wives during Japan’s rapid-growth decades. Ten performers appear, ranging from women in their sixties and young wives in their twenties to adult college-student roles.
