The play is adapted from the popular manga by Yoshinobu Yoshiyasu, with the screenplay written by Yoshiko Morishita. It tells the story of a reverse gender Edo parallel world, where a smallpox outbreak during the Tokugawa Iemitsu era drastically reduced the male population, leading to a drastic change in society. After the third shogun Iemitsu, women took over the position of shogun in the shogunate. As a proof of the shogunate's prestige, the Ooku gathered 'three thousand beautiful men.' The original manga has been adapted into film and television before, but this is the first time it has been completed as a live-action work, narrating the story from the third shogun Iemitsu arc to the final return of power to the emperor, covering the periods of 'Third Shogun Iemitsu × Manrikōji Yūgo,' 'Fifth Shogun Tsunayoshi × Uemon Suke,' and 'Eighth Shogun Yoshimune × Mizuno Yūshin' all the way to the era of the return of power.
