The Three Treasures

You inherit a throne you never wanted. The Emperor’s favorite son is sent east to die in a rigged battle, but a storm and a mythic blade spare him. The court dismisses the survivor as an impostor as he vanishes into legend, taunting those who plotted against him. Akira Kurosawa’s peer Hiroshi Inagaki leaves the politics to the sword and the wind.
