The movie is based on the “Princess Toyotomi” novel by author Makime Manabu (“Kamogawa Horumo,” “Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi”). The story revolves around a group of bureaucrats in the national Board of Audit who discover a national secret involving Osaka and the Toyotomi clan that has been hidden for the past 400 years.
