Yukinojyo Henge (Maruyama Akihiro Shuen Ban) DVD Box

[Machine Translation] Hideo Gosha, Kinji Fukasaku, and Akihiro Maruyama (now Akihiro Miwa) create a bewitchingly beautiful Kabuki picture scroll! This is the first time it has been packaged! --The Nagasaki magistrate of the time, Seizaemon Matsuuraya, a wealthy merchant in Nagasaki, has an illegitimate son named Yukitaro, who was sentenced to death by the magistrate for an unaccounted-for smuggling offense. Yukitaro, the only surviving child, was left in the care of Kabuki actor Kikunojo Nakamura and disappeared from Nagasaki. Twenty years later... Yukinojo Nakamura (Akihiro Maruyama), a popular Edo onnagata actor of the day, is the personification of Yukitaro as a grown man. Meanwhile, the mastermind of the false accusation, Sanzai Tsuchibe (Ryunosuke Kaneda), has his daughter, Namiji (Megumi Tamami), in the inner palace, and is also in Edo as a scheming vassal manipulating the government's affairs from the shadows. Yukinojo and Sanzai, Yukinojo's secret helper Yomitaro (Akihiro Miwa in a dual role), who looks just like Yukinojo, Naniji, who is in love with Yukinojo without knowing he is the son of an enemy, Ohatsu (Kazuko Yoshiyuki), a womanizer who is also in love with Yukinojo, and Heima Kadokura (Toshiyuki Hosokawa), a mysterious swordsman who is after Yukinojo. The story opens with a love-hate relationship between the two men, who are all different from each other in one way or another. 13 episodes in total.
