Japan, 1595. The war with Korea, started by kampaku Toyotomi Hideyoshi (regent of the Emperor and the real ruler of the country), ended in failure, and the warriors, depressed by the shame of defeat, returned to their homeland. But is everything so peaceful in your native country? And wasn’t it easier there, in a foreign land, on the battlefields? Toyotomi Hideyoshi is too old, and his heir is still too young. And General Kato Kiyomasa, distinguished by fearlessness and courage, who has been nicknamed “young tiger” since childhood, like other heroes, finds himself unwittingly drawn into political conflicts and the struggle for power.
