Overview
Beginning with the Meiji Restoration, modern Japan became a great power in Asia, but ended in the catastrophe of defeat. Writer Ryōtarō Shiba's recognition of this history has led him to tell the story of the Showa period before the madness of war, going back to the end of the Meiji-Bakumatsu periods, in a 12-part series.
