Kunoichi Keshō (Japanese: くノ一化粧), also known as The Spying Sorceress[1] is a 1964 Japanese comedy jidaigeki film directed by Sadao Nakajima.[2][3] Nakajima himself did the casting and Shigeru Tsuyuguchi, Kō Nishimura and Masumi Harukawa were cast from Shohei Imamura's film Unholy Desire because he was impressed with the film.[4] It is based on Futaro Yamada's novel of the same title and is the second in Toei's Kunoichi film series based on Yamada's works.[5][6]
The plan to overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate, led by Yui Shōsetsu and Marubashi Chūya, failed. Matsudaira Nobutsuna sensed the movement of Yui Shōsetsu and had Hattori Hanzo search for the funding source. As a result, Matsudaira Nobutsuna learned that the billions of treasure left by the Toyotomi clan had been hidden. He sends Amakusa Senchiyo and his subordinate to Nagasaki to find the treasure.[6][7]
