Description
羅生門 (Rashomon) is a Japanese card game, based upon the short story Rashōmon by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Set in the ruined capital of the Heian era, the player becomes an old woman, and in the Rashomon gateway, makes a wig by tearing the corpse's hair while screaming, avoiding capture and strangers. The game reflects the story's discussion of the morality of resorting to criminal acts in order to survive. (Note, the Kurosawa film is actually based on a separate story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, 'In A Grove'.) user summary
