Ooku: The Inner Chambers, Vol. 11

Tokugawa Harusada connived for years to place her son in the shoguns seat, and now shes enjoying holding all the reins of power while Ienari is relegated to breeding duties. But although his mother sees him as nothing but a mindless studhorse, Ienari has been reading The Chronicle of a Dying Day and dreaming of a better future for his country - one free of his mothers increasingly cruel control.
