During the Warring States period, in a small mountain village near Lake Biwa, there lived Genjiro (played by Masayuki Moriyama), his wife Miyagi (played by Kiyoshi Tanaka), his brother-in-law Fujibei (played by Ei Ozawa), and his sister Ahama (played by Hikaru Mito). They made a living by running small porcelain kilns and firing porcelain. During the war, Genjiro wanted to make a fortune by taking advantage of the chaos, while Fujibei aspired to become a samurai and rise to prominence. The two left their hometown with the fine porcelain they had fired and sold it in the town. Sure enough, they made a large sum of money. Genjiro even met a beautiful noble lady, Wakasa (played by Kyomachi). They were so happy that they didn't want to leave. One day, Genjiro, who was returning home late, was told by a monk if he had encountered anything unclean... . And Fujibei also fulfilled his wish to become a samurai. He was fortunate enough to encounter good fortune and was quite imposing. But surprisingly, he met his wife while having fun... A terrifying fact lay before them.[Collapse]
