The Mings (Chinese) come to a remote part of Sengoku-era feudal Japan with money to buy the cooperation of the locals, and fierce warriors to subdue those they can't buy. One of the things they need for their secret plan is the young boy, Kotaro, who goes into hiding in the countryside with his dog Tobimaru. Cornered in their hiding place by the Mings, they are saved by a wandering samurai who calls himself "Nanashi" ("nameless") who is haunted by nightmares of his violent past. The three of them are forced to discover the Ming's dreadful purpose in a conflict that pits the best swordsmen of Japan and China against each other. |
