Synopsis

Sous le règne du huitième shogunat des Tokugawa, le domaine de Yunagaya, dans la région de Tohoku, est un petit fief dont le daimyo est Masaatsu Naito. Le daimyo reçoit l'ordre d'exécuter le Sankin-kotai dans les 5 jours . Le Sankin-kotai est une coutume qui exige que le daimyo du fief rende hommage au shogun à Edo sous peine de represailles. Malheureusement, le temps nécessaire à Masaatsu Naito pour faire le trajet est de 8 jours. Cet ordre est émis parce qu'un haut fonctionnaire du gouvernement veut s'accaparer la mine d'or présente sur le fief. De plus, les dépenses pour Sankin-kotai sont élevées et le domaine est si petit qu'il semble impossible à compléter. Néanmoins, Masaatsu Naito commence une opération inattendue pour achever Sankin-kotai en 5 jours.

It revolves around two peasant couples – Genjurō and Miyagi, Tōbei and Ohama – who are uprooted as Shibata Katsuie's army sweeps through their farming village, Nakanogō. Genjurō, a potter, takes his wares to nearby Ōmizo. He is accompanied by Tōbei, who dreams of becoming a samurai. A respected sage tells Miyagi to warn her husband about seeking profit in time of upheaval, and to prepare for a probable attack on the village. Genjurō arrives with his profits, but she asks him to stop. Genjurō nevertheless works long hours to finish his pottery. That night Nakanogō is attacked by soldiers, and the four main characters hide out in the woods.
