In eighth century China, the Emperor is grieving over the death of his wife. The Yang family wants to provide the Emperor with a consort so that they may consolidate their influence over the court. General An Lushan finds a distant relative working in their kitchen whom they groom to present to the Emperor.
The Emperor falls in love with her and she becomes the Princess Yang Kwei-fei. The Yangs are then appointed important ministers, but General An Lushan is not given the court position he covets. The ministers misuse their power so much that there is a popular revolt against all the Yangs, fueled by General An Lushan.
The film stars award-winning actress Michiko Kyô (Rashomon) and was shot in lush color with gorgeous set decoration. Extremely popular during the Heian age, the story of Princess Yang Kwei-Fei is considered a precursor to The Tale of Genji.
