No need to have seen prior acts; these dramas are self-contained stories.With anger and resentment dividing their families, will the two young lovers Rikiya and Konami be able to wed and live a happy life together?
In Japanese with English subtitles.
The class is part of The 47 Ronin Project, a year-long course exploring on film the original Kabuki theatre version of the popular samurai revenge tale: http://www.jetaanc.org/47Ronin
