Synopsis

Knightly Advice is an engrossing drama about political infighting in the early years of the Tokugawa Shogunate, based on a true historical incident in the year 1629. The conflict arises from inequality between the shogun's retainers (or knights) and the daimyo lords. During the time of the first shogun, Ieyasu Tokugawa, the knights enjoyed comparable standing with the daimyo. But by the time of the third shogun, the protocol has changed and the knights have had their stature diminished. Animosity is festering between the two groups, with the daimyo looking down their noses at the knights, and the knights insulting the daimyo by calling them "non-liege lords."
