Bakumatsu Taiyoden’s synopsis taken from the 2011 remastered movie website:

Set in the final years of the Samurai period, Bunkyu second (1862). There was a red-light district in Shinagawa equivalent to the one in Yoshiwara. Upon entering a famous Shinagawa brothel named Sagamiya, the protagonist Saheiji throw off his straw sandals, ignored his three companions, and indulged himself with alcohol and various other costly activities. However, he had not a penny on him to pay…

Therefore he remained as a servant to repay his debt, and worked day and night in Sagamiya. Before one knows it, he became indispensable. He encountered and successfully solved many disputes one after another with his wit. Solving other people’s problems was easy for him, so was befriending the conservative Shinsaku Takasugi, and he strolled through a period of tough time.

Akira Kurosawa’s List of His 100 Favorite Movies

[notesonfilm1]

I´m too distracted at the moment to write even a note on Yuzo Kawashima´s great ‘Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate’, currently on MUBI, so I merely urge those who can to see it. It´s set in a whorehouse at a time of great social change where everyone seems to be running through the corridors and up and down staircases, very bawdy and funny, with a handling of diverse characters even Altman might envy, and with a nonjudgmental look on the very questionable things people often have to do to survive. It´s a picaresque film with a typical rascal hero, Saheiji, who lives by his wits. One of the things that makes this film great is that it lacks the cynicism of the picaresque: everyone has their reasons here, understanding and usually sympathy are offered to almost every character, and the look on the situation is that of humour tinged with a bit of nostalgia. Times of change are difficult ones and everyone needs to get by as best they can. The film usually comes out third or fourth in lists of favourite films in the history of Japanese cinema and one can understand why after seeing it.

[STAGE PLAY ANNOUNCEMENT] SAKIYAMA TSUBASA WILL BE THE MAIN CHARACTER IN "BAKUMATSU TAIYODEN GAIDEN" STAGE PLAY!

It was announced the other day Sakiyama Tsubasa will be the main character for "Bakumatsu Taiyoden Gaiden", a stage play adaption from the movie "Bakumatsu Taiyoden" ("The Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate") in commemoration of director Kawashima Yuzo's 100th birthday.

"Bakumatsu Taiyoden" summary from the movie originally released on July 14th, 1957

“Set in the last few years of the Shogun's rule, this period/ensemble movie depicts the lives of the young and the restless at a whorehouse. The protagonist is Saheiji, a resourceful, witty free spirit. It's 1862, 6 years before the Shogun turned his political power over to the Emperor. Penniless Saheiji splashes out at a famous Shinagawa whorehouse. He's forced to stay on at the whorehouse to repay his debt. At first Saheiji is regarded as an unwelcome guest who never leaves but it turns out he is not just a poor grifter. 

None of the whorehouse's guests, hosts, servants and attending ladies are innocent but they are pragmatic schemers. Saheiji soon endears himself to them all and solves many whorehouse disputes with his wit. But it is slowly revealed that the seemingly perfect Saheiji is suffering from tuberculosis and his future is uncertain...”

A very enjoyable and excessively well made slightly bawdy farce with depth and intelligence.
