Double Suicide (心中天網島, Shinjū Ten no Amijima) is a 1969 Japanese historical drama film directed by Masahiro Shinoda.

It is based on the 1721 bunraku (traditional puppet theatre) play The Love Suicides at Amijima by Monzaemon Chikamatsu.

Jihei has promised twenty-nine times to free her from her five-year contract at the Kinokuni brothel, but he lacks the money required: ten kan of silver.

When Koharu returns to the Kinokuni brothel, a rich merchant named Tahei comes in and says he would like to free her from her contract.

A few weeks later in Jihei's home and paper shop, Osan's servants, Otama and Sangoro, are late for dinner.

When Osan's mother arrives with Magoemon, she tells Jihei that she heard a rumor from a member of her prayer group that a wealthy merchant from Tenma was set to free Koharu in a few days.

Jihei finds Koharu back at the Kinokuni brothel, and the two run until they reach a graveyard where they make love.

They venture into the wilderness where Jihei kills Koharu, pulls off her obi, and hangs himself with it with the help of kuroko on a lone torii on a hill.

The final shot shows Jihei and Koharu laying opposite one another on a mat beneath the bridge as they were at the beginning of the film.

The kuroko prepare for a modern-day presentation of a puppet play while a voice-over, presumably the director, calls on the telephone to find a location for the penultimate scene of the lovers' suicide.

The stylized sets and the period costumes and props simultaneously convey a classical theatricality and contemporaneous modernity.

Jihei's fatal love interest, Koharu the prostitute, and his neglected wife, Osan, are both played by actress Shima Iwashita.
