THE LEGEND & BUTTERFLY
Directed by Keishi Otomo
Produced by Toei Company, J Storm
A historical romance set during Japan's Sengoku period that traces how a politically arranged marriage transforms into genuine partnership through shared adversity and mutual respect.
Oda Nobunaga and Nōhime were originally married to mend a hostile relationship between neighbouring regions. Unfortunately, they were like oil and water, making for a somewhat unhappy marriage. When Oda's enemy, Imagawa Yoshimoto, attacks Owari with his vast army, Oda is devastated by the overwhelming gap in military strength. However, Nohime encourages him not to despair, and the pair draw up a tactical plan that will allow them to overcome the odds.
