Inu-oh

Synopsis

In 14th Century Japan, during the Muromachi period, political instability reigned. Three hundred years earlier, a terrible civil war between two powerful clans, known as the Genpei War, led to devastation and the annihilation of the Heike clan. In the centuries since, Japan was rocked by aftershocks of conflict, and legends began to grow of the ghosts of the Heike, who would curse anyone who inadvertently dishonored their memory. Despite the ever-looming threat of conflict and the lurking danger of ancient ghosts, artistic culture flourished during the Muromachi period. During this time is Inu-Oh, a boy with unique physical characteristics.
