Nihonkai Dai Kaisen Umi Yukaba [Priced-down Reissue]

[Machine Translation] This is the third historical epic following "203 Plateaus" and "The Empire of Japan" that sharply explores "life and death", "love", and "nation and people" in the turbulent era of war. Set during the Battle of the Sea of Japan, which has left its mark on world military history, the film depicts the lives of the leaders who commanded the battle and the young men and women of the pioneer Navy and Navy Band who were members of the flagship Mikasa, and celebrates the wisdom, courage and integrity of the Japanese people on a grand scale. The story takes place during the period of the fierce "Russo-Japanese" war in the Meiji era. The battle of "2003 Highlands," which was won with the loss of more than 10,000 men, was merely a prelude to the great battle to come. In the first year of the war, both Japanese and Russian navies had exhausted their forces on land and sea, and the outcome of the battle was left to the fleet battles between the remaining navies of the two countries. Russia launched the Baltic Fleet, said to be the strongest in the world, against Japan. Japan, on the other hand, was met by the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy led by Heihachiro Togo. What was the plan to counter the world's strongest fleet? And what were the feelings of the young soldiers who bore the fate of their country in their hearts? Toshiro Mifune plays Heihachiro Togo, Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Tetsuro Tanba plays General Gonpei Yamamoto, and Mikijiro Hira plays Emperor Meiji. The golden duo of Toshio Masuda (director) and Kazuo Kasahara (screenwriter) have created a historical epic that grandly celebrates the Meiji era.
