Story
Hagakure, Le Livre du Samurai, est un recueil de pensées et de préceptes sur le code de conduite des samurais, le bushido, rédigé par Yamamoto Tsunetomo au début du 18e siècle. Cet ouvrage est bien plus qu'un simple manuel de morale; il représente un témoignage intime sur les valeurs et les pratiques qui régissaient la vie des guerries japonais de l'époque féodale. À travers des réflexions profondes sur la loyauté, la mort, la discipline et l'honneur, Hagakure cherche à définir une manière d'être qui transcende le simple fait de combattre, pour devenir une philosophie de vie.

まさに21世紀に生きる我々を描いている作品で、特に現代の日本人の大衆の状況を見事に指摘しています。そういう意味で怖い作品と言えるでしょう。ラストの言葉は永遠に語り継ぎたい言葉です。

Story
Императорский Китай, XV век. Тань Юньсянь — аристократка, и ее судьба, как судьбы тысяч других дочерей чиновников, предопределена: однообразная жизнь во внутренних покоях, невыносимые мучения от бинтования ног, а затем — брак по договоренности и непременная обязанность родить сына. Но после смерти матери отец отправляет юную Юньсянь к своим родителям-врачам, и там, под руководством бабушки, девочка с головой погружается в изучение медицины. Согласно конфуцианскому канону врачу-мужчине нельзя видеть женщин, а женщине-врачу — соприкасаться с кровью, но кто-то же должен исцелять женские недуги!
