Filmed only a few months after Tatsumi Hijikata's first explosive public butoh performance, "Gisei" features Hijikata and members of his Asbestos Hall Troupe in a brutal allegory of a closed society.

Richie memorialized the film in his diary: "It is more than ever about the death of an individual, a distinct kind of human sacrifice.
