Prohibited for children under 16, this show adapted from the best-seller of the same name by James Clavell promises to honor all the complexity of a tense political climate between Japan’s most influential clans. Ten episodes to convey the tension experienced by the English commander John Blackthorne (Cosmos Jarvis), since its shipwreck on the beach of a fishing village. The latter could have a decisive role in the outcome of the fight to the death between Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) and the enemies of the Board of Regents.
