배경: In the Edo period, in 1603, A young maiden named Ayame about 23 is in the garden praying, telling her newborn sister, Misuzu "I'm sorry, Misuzu. I don't have much time, so this is all you can do, I won't be able to protect you at all. My girl, I know that you'll survive. Soon you'll see, everything will be different for you one day." But she was arrested by the soldiers where they beat her on the way. Babies, children, teens and elderly people who love her felt sad and sorry for her. Hisako then offers the crowd the choice of freeing Ayame or the criminal Ruriko. The crowd demands Ruriko be freed and Ayame crucified. Attempting to appease the crowd, Hisako orders that Ayame simply be flogged. The japanese guards brutally flogged her before taking her to a barn where they place a crown of thorns on her head and insult her. She is presented before Hisako and the crowd, but Masao, supported by the crowd, demand that she be crucified. Unwilling to instigate an uprising, Hisako orders her crucifixion, claiming no responsibility. Ayame then carries a heavy wooden cross on the road to the Suzugamori execution grounds while Misa observes her suffering with sadistic pleasure. Along the way, Ayame is constantly harassed and gang-raped by the guards and rampant mob, encounters her mother who comforts her for a short while before being pulled away by the guards, is helped by the unwilling Kanako, and is replenished by a man who wipes her bloodied face with his white cloth before also being dragged away by the guards. At the end of their journey, with her mother, Hiromi, Miyako, and many others witnessing, Ayame is crucified by being tied up instead of nailed.
