Oku

The play is adapted from Yoshinaga's popular manga, and the screenwriter is Yoshiko Morishita. It tells the story of a parallel world in Edo where men and women are reversed. The smallpox epidemic in Tokugawa Iemitsu's era caused a sharp decline in the male population, and the social consequences have also undergone earth-shaking changes. After the third generation Shogun Iemitsu, women took over the position of shogun. As proof of the prestige of the shogunate, Ooku gathered "three thousand beautiful men." The original manga has also been adapted into film and television dramas in the past. This is the first time that a live-action work has been completed that tells the story from the third generation of Shogun Iemitsu to the final return of the great power, from "The Third Tokugawa Iemitsu x Banri Koji Yuko Arc", "The Fifth Tokugawa Tsunayoshi x Youemon Monsa Arc", "The Eighth Tokugawa Yoshimune x Mizuno Yunoshin Arc" all the way to the era of the return of the great power.
