Long before the modern female revenge genre came into existence, there was The
Spider Tattoo, Masumura’s mysterious, ferocious Edo-era fable. Ayako Wakao
is Otsuya, the daughter of a wealthy merchant who gets kidnapped and forced into
prostitution. A demented tattoo artist engraves a large, black, human-faced
spider on her back that turns her into a murderess, hell-bent on annihilating
the men who abused her.
