Chushingura has been made into a movie several times before, but this time it will be presented in a widescreen version with all natural colors and a new look. Written by Masato Ide and directed by Tatsuo Osone. This is a magnificent scroll of images that depicts on a grand scale the triumph of the Genroku era that shook the citizens of Edo, the peaceful capital of Japan. The top stars of the film, shinpa, shingeki, and kabuki worlds at the time of production were lavishly cast, and a huge budget was invested to create a large set for this highly acclaimed and moving epic.

In the 15th year of the Genroku era (1688), the world praised the 47 ronin who avenged the death of their master Asano Takumi-no-kami. Shogun Tsunayoshi, who ruled at that time, experienced difficulties in what punishment to impose on the soldiers. As a result, it was decided to sentence them to seppuk (ritual suicide).

Directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa.

This epic depicts the battle between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen. The focus of the story is the struggle by the unit leader in charge of the main supply wagons and the supply troops to transport materiel to the Uesugi army. To this are added episodes involving an itinerant woman.

L'histoire raconte l'histoire d'un groupe de samouraïs qui se sont retrouvés sans chef (devenus ronin) après que leur daimyo (seigneur féodal) ait été forcé de commettre un seppuku (suicide rituel) pour avoir agressé un fonctionnaire de la cour nommé Kira Yoshinaka, dont le titre était Kōzuke no suke. Les ronin ont vengé l'honneur de leur maître après avoir patiemment attendu et planifié pendant plus d'un an pour tuer Kira. À leur tour, les ronin ont eux-mêmes été contraints de commettre un seppuku pour avoir commis le crime de meurtre.
