Introduction······

The drama is adapted from James Clavell's best-selling novel of the same name in 1975. The story is set in 1600 in Japan, at the dawn of a century long civil war known as the Battle of Sekigahara. Faced with the alliance of the five major enemies to fight against themselves, Yoshii Toranaga Daimyo (played by Hiroyuki Makita) must fight for his life.

When a mysterious European ship is found stranded in a nearby fishing village, the British pilot John Blackthorn (played by Cosmore Jarvis) on board brings secrets that may help Toranaga overturn the balance of power, and these secrets may also destroy Blackthorn's own enemies - the powerful influence of Jesuit missionaries and Portuguese merchants.

The fate of Toranaga and Blackthorn becomes inseparable from their translator Toda Mariko (played by Akina Zei). Mariko is a mysterious Christian woman, the last member of a declining aristocratic family. In an era of political turmoil, Mariko not only had to serve her name, but also had to find a balance between her new relationship with Blackthorne, her sense of mission towards faith and her late father's wishes.

The original work is narrated from both Western and Japanese perspectives, set during the Edo Shogunate period in Japan, with the prototypes being Tokugawa Ieyasu and Miura Nishinobu.
