“The sound of the Gion Shoja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline…”

The late Heian period. The “Heike Family” is about to reach the peak of its prosperity in every aspect of power, military might, and financial resources. Taira no Shigemori, a man with eyes that can see the dead meets Biwa, a “Biwa Hoshi” who can see the future, and he gets told “you will all perish soon.” From an aristocratic reign to a Samurai’s reign, this is the beginning of the 15 turbulent years of historical change in Japan.
