Flower And Sword

花戦さ

Nippon Cinema   ª 

In 16th-century Kyoto, the monk Senko is appointed head of his friary. However, his whimsical nature doesn’t fit well with the position, and Senko would rather spend his time arranging flowers anyway. In the course of time, he befriends the tea master Rikyu, who suffers under the whims of lord Hideyoshi. When Hideyoshi’s vanity asks for mortal sacrifices, Senko uses his beloved flowers to make a stand.
