樅ノ木は残った

A lone samurai of the Date clan stands before an ancient fir tree on the grounds of Sendai Castle during the Edo period. This silent witness holds the weight of generations as the warrior becomes entangled in a web of political intrigue, where absolute loyalty is tested by the harsh realities of survival. His personal code clashes with the demands of a changing world, forcing impossible choices between honor and compromise. The narrative unfolds like a slow-burning scroll, painting a portrait of resilience and the quiet burdens shouldered by those who remain when an age passes into memory.
