Video and Theater
The LAND OF THE RISING GOD

It was in 1582 AD. The most famous story in Japan is that a samurai named Akechi Mitsuhide rebelled and attacked his master, Oda Nobunaga. In Japan, this is called the Honnoji Incident. Around this time, Christianity was first introduced to Japan, and many people were influenced by it. Oda Nobunaga worked hard to end the Sengoku period and unify Japan. He was greatly influenced by Christianity, and is described as the first Japanese person to make many gifts to the Vatican. This story of Oda Nobunaga's death has a strange similarity with the story of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. One is that Nobunaga's body disappeared after his death. The other is the presence of the traitor Mitsuhide Akechi, who was his confidant. And as a samurai who brought an end to the Sengoku era, he still influences many Japanese people. It is reminiscent of the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who was crucified on Golgotha, bearing the burden of humanity's sins. The Land of the Rising God, a popular stage production in Japan, tells the story of Nobunaga, who is strongly influenced by Christianity and brings peace to Japan through his own death. It depicts that the presence of a traitor was also necessary. And the samurai spirit that flows there is depicted as nothing but self-sacrifice.

Through her eyes, we witness the struggles of marginalized communities, the devastation wrought by environmental degradation, and the profound impact of systemic inequality on the lives of millions. But amidst the darkness, there shines a glimmer of hope—a flickering flame of resilience and resolve that refuses to be extinguished. As our protagonist embarks on her journey of self-discovery and activism, she rallies others to join her cause, igniting a movement that reverberates far beyond the confines of the screen.
