Civil wars of XIV century. The action takes place around the house To no Moronao, which in Japan has become a household word to describe the rudeness, ignorance, folly. Being a talented warrior, he enjoyed the patronage of the Shogun and thought it would do any atrocities. His recklessness was the cause of the tragic events depicted in the famous epic about the revenge of the 47 loyal retainers.
