"Shogun's Samurai: The Conspiracy of the Yagyu Clan" Blu-ray

A magnificent historical epic that remains in Japanese cinema history, finally revived on high-definition Blu-ray
Set in the Warring States period, a time of power struggles and intrigue, the fierce battle between brothers over the succession to the shogunate is now brought back to life in vivid images.

Shogun's Samurai: The Yagyu Clan Conspiracy is a historical action film directed by the master Kinji Fukasaku in 1978. Featuring legendary action star Shinichi Chiba (Sonny Chiba) in the lead role, and featuring a stellar cast including some of the most talented actors in Japanese cinema, including Kinnosuke Nakamura, Hiroki Matsukata, and Yoshio Harada, this is a spectacular period drama entertainment.

This historical picture scroll tale, where power and desire intersect, begins with a shocking twist: the shocking truth that the second shogun was poisoned. In fact, his life was taken because the shogun had intended to make his eldest son his successor. A fierce conflict over the position of shogun erupts between Iemitsu, whose stutter and birthmark had damaged the respect of those around him, and his younger brother, Tadanaga. The samurai are divided, pledging loyalty to each candidate, and the conflict soon escalates into all-out war.

Secretly manipulating this sibling feud are the Yagyu clan, who taught swordsmanship to the Shogun. As Iemitsu's teacher and swordsmanship instructor, Yagyu is obsessed with making Iemitsu Shogun, even betraying his own family in pursuit of his goal. To further complicate the story, the imperial nobles are also secretly pulling the strings of the plot, plotting to weaken the Shogun and restore power to the Emperor.

This film, a perfect blend of director Kinji Fukasaku's outstanding directing skills and Shinichi Chiba's powerful acting, depicts the power struggle and samurai spirit on a grand scale set in Japan's Warring States period, and is still highly regarded by many film fans as a classic period drama that will remain in the history of Japanese cinema.
