Shogun's Joys of Torture

Shogun's Joys of Torture (徳川女刑罰史, Tokugawa onna keibatsu-shi) is a 1968 Japanese ero guro film directed by Teruo Ishii and distributed by Toei.[2] The film, which can be classified as belonging to a subgenre of pink films, is considered a precursor to Toei's ventures into the "pinky violent" style of filmmaking seen in the early 1970s.[3] It was followed by Shogun's Sadism in 1976.
