Storylines :
More than 500 years ago, the era was turbulent when the union of the North and South dynasties, the assassination of the shogun, and the Onin Rebellion occurred in Japan.
Ikkyu broke away from his obsession when he heard a cry of a crow in Katata in Omi. The master monk Kaso Sodon gave Ikkyu a Buddhist sermon of paper as a formal confirmation of Ikkyu's awakening. However, Ikkyu immediately threw away the paper and showed his master the idea of the severance of his master's teaching of Buddhism as hard as he burned the paper.
However, Ikkyu's faith led to conversion through turbulent events such as famine and civil war. Then, he met Shinjo. On the other hand, Ikkyu's daily poetry and his unique teaching style of Buddhism saved the people.
Eventually, Ikkyu changed even the consciousness of the shogunate's dignitaries, and passed away. After that, the people drove out the bandit army that ravaged the country and the shogunate army that suppressed it, and established the first autonomous rule in this Japan country in history!!
