The feat that marked a milestone in the history of samurai. The epic outcome of the Chihaya trilogy! The emperor's uprising for control of Japan has failed and while remaining prisoner in Kyoto the last rebels who supported his cause are threatened by the union of forces loyal to the shogun and the Hōjō clan. The huge army advances implacably from the east, shaking the land of the Holy Isles, but in the center of the country, a handful of samurai intends to stop them for the time necessary for the rebels to strengthen. Willing to sacrifice their lives in the name of honor and loyalty, they contemplate with indifference how the most powerful army in the history of Japan ascends the mountain to surround the castle among the clouds where they take refuge. The fortress of Chihaya and her samurai are about to become a legend. And, at the same time, a peasant child, witness of these historical events, is approaching the conclusion of his vital journey. The karma that has directed his steps will reveal to him that the end is the beginning. A bridge of union with the classic oriental culture, a trip to the Japanese heart from the western mind and an exciting historical adventure in the Japan of the XIV century.
