Sejuin Suzuki's 1965 film “Story of a Prostitute”, based on a story by novelist Taijiro Tamura, is a love triangle. Harumi (Yumiko Nogawa), a Japanese woman volunteering as a “comfort woman” for the Imperial Army becomes the favorite of Narita (Isao Tamagawa), the drunken and abusive adjutant in charge of a garrison in far flung Manchuria, but Harumi has her heart set on another. Mikami (Tamio Kawaji) is Narita’s subservient orderly, a man set apart from the brutality around him, a man who Harumi falls desperately in love with. Their story unfolds in windswept deserts on the edge of the Japanese Empire during the Japan-Chinese War of 1937.
