The time is the end of the Edo period. The waves of "Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians" shook the country, and the three-hundred-year history of the Tokugawa shogunate was about to come to an end. Oguri Kozukenosuke, a key figure in the shogunate, showed his intention to support Tokugawa Yoshinobu's return of power to the Emperor, but was angered by the schemes of the Satsuma and Choshu clans, and was prepared to fight if necessary. Mataichi, his adopted son, confronted his father head-on, supporting Katsu Kaishu's peace theory and was branded a coward by the hard-line anti-shogunate faction. One day, Katsu was invited by his rival, Oguri, and was surprisingly asked to look after his son. The last major council of Edo Castle. Oguri gave Katsu various strategies against the Satsuma and Choshu clans and then retreated to his former territory. The imperial army, which had advanced into Edo, committed all sorts of atrocities and further ordered the execution of Oguri. Katsu pleaded with Saigo Takamori to spare Oguri's life, but his request was denied. Mataichi, who had advocated for peace, was shaken by the thought of his father's tragic death. Soon, without listening to Katsu's words, Mataichi boarded a ship of the former shogunate navy and departed for Goryokaku, Hokkaido. Tatsuyasu Oosone, a master of historical dramas, depicts the fate of people caught up in the turmoil against the backdrop of the Meiji Restoration, a major turning point in history, on a super-scale. A grand, moving epic drama, featuring a cast of stars from the film and theater worlds, told in two parts: "Fūun-hen" (Wind and Clouds) and "Kaihka-hen" (Flowering). - Title: The Bell of Edo - Series Name: SHV BEST SELECTION - Genre: Japanese Film - Format: VHS - Price: 3800 yen - Manufacturer: Shochiku Home Video Thank you for viewing.
