Additional InformationFollowing his ascent to prominence with his sprawling fantasy CASSHERN (2004), Kazuaki Kiriyaa returns with this follow-up, produced by J-horror godfather Takashige Ichise (THE GRUDGE). Described as a Japanese equivalent of Robin Hood, the year is 1582, and the most miserly warlord in Japan falls prey to an assassin's blade only to be succeeded by his right-hand-man, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. A huge chasm exists between rich and poor, and evening things out is super-thief Goemon who spends his day redistributing wealth to the lower economic classes. Fate takes an intriguing turn when Goemon acquires a small, ornate, handcrafted box of foreign design that he swipes from a merchant and hands to a homeless kid. Hideyoshi is soon after the box and sends a vicious ninja out to kill Goemon and retrieve the item. Goemon quickly finds himself being pursued by everyone under the sun and soon realizes that the box will play an integral role in the nation's future.
