[2] In a tough winter of the late Taisho period, villagers at the foot of a mountain in a certain northern country are attacked one after another by bears, and there are many incidents where only women are eaten.
The woman is Eiji's childhood friend, Yuki, who he had not heard from since her parents and younger brother were killed by Akamadara a year ago.
Yuki had vowed revenge on the bear, broken the village rule that prohibited women from entering the mountains, disguised herself as a man, and chased Akamadara alone.
After evacuating the village women, Kasuke decides on the risky strategy of each matagi member hiding in a different spot to ambush the bear.
In order to create a tense scene where they confront the bear, the actors were filmed inside of a cage made of two layers of 20 mm thick bulletproof glass.
