The three-hundredth film to feature Utaemon Ichikawa. The super all-star jidaigeki is back, now digitally remastered!

A summer all-star movie from the golden age of Japanese film. In this delightful installment, the beloved “idle vassal” Saotome Mondonosuke, played by Utaemon Ichikawa, ventures into the Date domain brimming with conspiracy. The artistic, “wearable cultural heritage”-level costumes, even more beautiful in this digitally remastered version, are created by Tadaoto Kainoshō who supported Kenji Mizoguchi with his historical research. Prepare to be awestruck by the power of film and film stars, shining ever so bright beyond the framework of the storyline.
