Plot summary

Kansuke Yamamoto is a samurai who dreams of a country united, peaceful from sea to sea. He enters the service of Takeda, the lord of Kai domain. He convinces Takeda to kill the lord of neighboring Suwa and take his wife as a concubine. He then convinces the widow, Princess Yu, to accept this arrangement and to bear Takeda a son. He pledges them his life. He then spends years using treachery, poetic sensibility, military and political strategy to expand Takeda's realm, advance the claim of Yu's son as the heir, and prepare for an ultimate battle with the forces of Echigo. Has Kansuke overreached? Are his dreams, blinded by love, too big?

Epic. Captures how power and strategy is obtained

Epic. Captures how power and strategy is obtained by sometimes using cunning, lies, and deception. Advancement lies with being resourceful, being merciless and dominating your enemies. Delicately captures the mood and feel of the 15th-16th Century of Japan, although it does so in a very long manner. Detailed, beautiful, with Toshiro Mifune being the embodiment of power in his look and will alone.

Samurai epic from the 60's that has all

Samurai epic from the 60's that has all the characteristics that fans of the genre are looking for and a great performance from Toshiro Mifune. A ronin tricks a fellow ronin to attack a lord just so he can come in and kill his friend to make it look like he wants to save the lord so that he may be offered a position. The plan works and the ronin moves up in the Japanese military very swiftly up until the ronin and his master both fall for the same girl and this is when the ronin's true faith shows. Large production values help make this epic rise above the competition, but the long run time and the over emphasis on the history over the action make this epic a duller then it should be.
