During the Sengoku period, warlords constantly battled for power. One man, Sasuke Furuta, became consumed by his love for tea and desire for material gain as he climbed the ranks. He served as a warrior under Nobunaga Oda and was inspired by Nobunaga's brilliance and trained in the ways of tea by Master Senno Soueki. Sasuke pursued hyouge, the pursuit of beauty in all aspects of life, and questioned whether to live or not for the sake of his art. The question remained: is the pursuit of art worth sacrificing one's life for power?
