A story about a farmer participating in the anti-shogunate movement, who tries to return to his hometown to establish a new order with dreams of no oppression and equality for all. The term "Red Hair" comes from the red headgear worn by the captain of the "Red News Corps," a government force that marched into Edo during the end of the shogunate (is this the same name as the mysterious group that issued a statement during the time of the Asahi Newspaper attack, which is now past the statute of limitations?). Genzō, a lowly soldier in the government's ranks, volunteers for the "Frontier Troop" and borrows the captain's "Red Hair" to charge into his hometown village. There, the village is dominated by a daikan (district magistrate) and a yakuza family... which makes it reminiscent of Kurosawa's "Yojimbo." The village set resembles the post town in "Yojimbo." The farmers suffer from tax collection, and Genzō's lover, Tomi (played by Iwashita Shima), and other women are sold to brothels, while young men incited by a Dutch scholar are on the brink of uprising, raising the revolutionary spirit, which might be something akin to the 1969 era.
