The Samurai and the Secret of the Flower
During Ienari Tokugawa's period. Hanakurabe (a playful competition of poetry with flowers in this period) was held to please Shogun (General), and Shiroshobu of the Date family and Higoshobu of the Hosokawa family competed with each other. As a result, the Hosokawa family won and Yahei Tabuki of the Date family killed himself. At the funeral, a beautiful woman (Hibiko Maya) appeared in front of Yahei's son, Yazyuro (Tsuyoshi Kato). The woman said, "I am a woman of the Hosokawa family, and the person who killed your father" and left. To revenge father, he became "Hanaonmitsu" to make a better flower than Higoshobu.
