Tenchi Mingcha

Japan in the seventeenth century was in the prosperous period of the Tokugawa shogunate. At that time, the fourth generation shogun Ietsuna (played by Shota Sometani) was in power, and Yasui Sanzatsu (played by Junichi Okada), who came from a Go family, not only had superb chess skills, but also loved arithmetic and astronomy. On the recommendation of Masayuki (Koshiro Matsumoto), the Lord of the Aizu Domain, he and a group of professionals embarked on an arduous and long journey of astrological observation. Observation results prove that the Xuanming calendar introduced by Japan from the Tang Dynasty and used for 800 years has shown many deviations. Represented by the powerful Mito Mitsuaki (played by Nakai Kiichi) and other samurai nobles, they hope to take this opportunity to formulate an accurate and practical local calendar. However, this work is not only difficult and huge, but also faces pressure from the Kyoto royal family. The game that lasted for more than ten years revealed Zhe's most ups and downs and glorious life... This film is adapted from Chong Fangding's novel of the same name.
