Loosely based on real life events of Tokugawa Mitsukuni
it is considered as a sort of remake of the successful jidaigeki drama Mito Komon filled with more fantastic elements.
The series is loosely based on legends surrounding the life of the Japanese daimyo Tokugawa Mitsukuni/ Mito Komon (1628-1701), who was one of the grandsons of the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. In legends, Mitsukuni is depicted as a wanderer who masqueraded as a commoner to investigate political corruption and other crimes.
