Part of

Daiei "Ero Guro/Unique Historical Drama Line"

From 1968 to 1969, Daiei released a series of low-budget exploitation films, which it named the "Ero Guro/Unique Historical Drama" Line". This consisted of two series: the "Woman's Secret" series and the "Kanto Woman" series. Later, after their merger with Nikkatsu in 1970, two more films were released in the series.
