Synopsis

The taiga drama is about the life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune (? 義経) (1159 - May 17, 1189). He was a late Heian and early Kamakura period general of the Minamoto clan of Japan. Yoshitsune was the ninth son of Minamoto no Yoshitomo. I really can't say anymore, for it'll spoil the drama for some people.
