Event Description

Long ago in Edo-era Japan, there was a temple called Enmei-ji. At this temple was very peculiar monk named Ninko. Ninko wanted most monks anywhere in the world wanted of his want of their religious studies --: to live a pure and virtuous life and be an example to others. However, Ninko suffered. A lot.

It was all because he was fantastically irresistible to any womean he met. He could not go out to beg with the other monks since women would crowd around and throw themselves at him. He could not meet outsiders who came to the temple for fear of the same. In fact, he was in fact so irresistible that he even turned the heads of some men he shared the temple with. Every man's fantasy was Ninko's greatest burden. And so, he set out on a journey to "purify himself". His road was to be more bizarre and unusual than he could have imagined.

This is a film with an abundance of on-screen tease. However, it's far from sleaze. Director Niwatsukino Norhiro has gone to great lengths to incorporate many different artistic approaches to this cautionary tale. The director's skill in some wonderfully illustrated animated sequences, pops this beyond indie budget expectations and yet neartly ties it all together too.
