[ Story ]

Set in early 1800s, the film depicts a story behind the creation of HAKKENDEN(八犬伝), a novel which has been passed down for many generations and is said to have become the root of the heroism of Japanese entertainment. With a great performance of award winning actor, Koji Yakusho, and with a combination of a spectacular visualization of the fictional part from HAKKENDEN, the film also captures how one creator accomplished to finish an epic novel through an agony and struggle, along with a friendship between Hokusai.
