 Synopsis
A grand costume war epic directed by Japanese publishing mogul Kadokawa Haruki, filmed on location in Canada, recreates the momentum and scale of the battles during Japan's Sengoku period. The plot describes Uesugi Kenshin, with the assistance of his military generals, rising to power as the leader of Echigo after defeating his brother, earning the title of 'Tora of Echigo' for his invincible cavalry that strikes fear around him. Meanwhile, Takeda Shingen, the lord of the mountainous Kai Province, covets the rich lands of Echigo and plots to bribe Kenshin's civilian officials and military generals. Kenshin imprisons the wives and daughters of the traitorous generals but, due to his deep Buddhist faith, cannot bear to take their lives. However, fate forces him into a 12-year struggle for supremacy against Takeda Shingen. The film's narrative is relatively complex, posing a burden for those unfamiliar with Japanese Sengoku history, but it spares no expense in production quality, with beautiful costumes, sets, and cinematography, and the battle scenes are also spectacular to behold.
