In a Japan run by a government losing its grip on the power it has
held for over 250 years, is there still a place for loyalty to a
clan, or are the lives of individuals more important? This is the
question that is explored in The Inn of Fallen Leaves, a question
that still resonates today in many countries throughout the world.
Chobei is a disillusioned samurai who, after being forced by his
clan to perform atrocities, works as a yojimbo and handyman for a
second-tier inn along the Nakasendo Highway. Akiyama is a samurai
who wants to maintain the honor of remaining loyal to a clan that
no longer wants him. A beautiful woman, Miyo, is attached to one
man, but coveted by the other. When Japan is thrown into chaos
after the assassination of its Regent, Cho's world transforms into
a state of confusion and loss, resulting in a battle of wits and
egos between the two men, with Miyo caught in the middle. Cho must
pursue Akiyama in order to expose the actions of the samurai and
his clan, and to find the woman he loves, but has lost.
