It was the first Taiga to be filmed outside of Japan as part of the story involves the Philippines as well as Jesuit missionaries. Boasting an all star cast it tells the story of a group of merchants and commoners in the port city of Sakai during the reigns of Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Ieyasu. The secondary story is the thief Ishikawa Goemon who starts off as a childhood friend of Hideyoshi but obviously their lives go in different directions until the inevitable ending. It's still to this day regarded as one of the all time greatest Taiga Dramas but sadly it was never subtitled in English. NHK did not start subbing them for the export market until 1982's Tokugawa Ieyasu. If you are familiar with the history of that era it's easy to follow. Shogun fans can catch Yoko Shimada as Gracia Hosokawa which was the inspiration for the role of Mariska which she played in Shogun two years later.Written by hiratemiki See less
