ISSHIN TASUKE 4 - The King and his Vassals (1961)
Iemitsu to Hikoza to Isshin Tasuke - Fourth film in the Isshin Tasuke series starring Nakamura Kinnosuke. The first film 'NOBLE TASUKE' became such a huge hit that Kinnosuke was asked to do a sequel, reluctant at first he eventually conceided and starred in 5 of the 6 film series.
This story begins in 1624 during the reign of Shogun Hidetada. The New Year's greeting is the most important ceremonial event in Japan and the Edo government has decreed it a festivity of pomp and circumstance.
It was meant to demonstrate the power of the Shogunate, and every-one had to wait their turn to greet Shogun Hidetada and his heir, young lord Iemitsu. Even Tadanaga, the heir's step-brother had to wait his turn.
This led to his advisors plotting to usurp the heir and install Tadanaga as the next Shogun. Little did they know of Isshin Tasuke, the fishmonger who was a double for Iemitsu and the cunning way that Okubo Hikozaemon would use him to save the succession in this highly entertaining motion picture.
