Shin heike monogatari-shizuka to yoshitsune
Directed by Koji Shima1h 58mDrama
Twelfth-century Japan: the Emperor has become a monk and retired to a monastery, while retaining both temporal and spiritual power. At the executive level, however, these powers are very much divided-into the Cloister Court and the Imperial Court. As the monks and ministers struggle for supremacy, a young samurai is making plans to overthrow both.
