Based on the novel by Yaeko Nogami.
Originally released as a motion picture in 1989.
Rentaro Mikuni, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Yoshiko Mita, Kyoko Kishida, Tanie Kitabayashi, Sayoko Yamaguchi, Ryo Tamura.
The story of Sen-no Rikyu, a Buddhist priest, who four centuries ago brought the art of the tea ceremony to perfection. Living in one of the most turbulent moments in Japanese history, Rikyu gained unexpected political influence as the confidant and cultural mentor to the powerful warlord, Hideyoshi Toyotomi. The film illustrates the classic struggle between art and politics and between the impulse to create and the impulse to destroy.
DVD; Dolby digital.
