In the mist of the warring age (Sengoku Era), the Kyushu based Hayato Clan is faced with a monumental battle to determine their survival. This is one of the greatest stories to come out of Japanese history with such great action as can only be performed by legendary screen star Ichikawa Utaemon. His heartfelt and powerful portrayal is one of the best in his long and storied career. (TV Broadcast quality)
