* Based on a novel by Furukawa Hideo which is a render of an epic of medieval Japanese literature narrating the rise and fall during the Genpei War of the Taira clan.
The late Heian period. The Heike Family is about to reach the peak of its prosperity in every aspect of power, military might, and financial resources. Taira no Shigemori, a man with eyes that can see the dead meets Biwa, a Biwa Hoshi who can see the future, and he gets told “you will all perish soon.” From an aristocratic reign to a Samurai’s reign, this is the beginning of the 15 turbulent years of historical change in Japan.
