Women warriors will wield weapons in the climactic scene of The Swords of Sorrow- BURAI II, as obligations of honor and duty are fulfilled with the blades of flashing swords in this action-packed story set in 19th Century feudal Japan.
Takeshige, chamberlain of the Matsugoe clan and master of the Shintou Eigou Style of sword combat, is unjustly sentenced to death after his master Lord Tagami has been captured. Daiji, the local executioner, slays Takeshige and his wife, but with his dying breath, Takeshige swears vengeance from beyond the grave, stating “Even if my body gets rotten, my soul shall live to take your life.” Takeshige exacts bloody revenge as his ghost possesses and dominates the bodies of others. The ghost begins to leave a trail of bloody corpses.
Kaede, Takeshige’s younger sister, is rendered homeless after her brother’s death. She is taken in by Natsu, Daiji’s younger sister, who does not immediately know of Kaede’s connection to Takeshige. Takeshige’s ghost compels Kaede to confront Natsu in mortal combat. The stage is set for an epic sword battle. One of them must die. Whom shall it be?
Naoki Fujiyama is playwright, director and producer.
