Love and Faith: Lady Ogin, Ogin sama, お吟さま (1978) dir. Kei Kumai
Sen Rikyu is a ceremonial tea master who advises warlord Hideyoshi in sixteenthcentury feudal Japan. His daughter, the beautiful Lady Ogin, has an unrequited love for Lord Ukon, who has angered Hideyoshi by becoming a Christian convert. Ogin s father Rikyu also displeases Hideyoshi by opposing the warlord s plan to invade China and Korea. When the animalistic Hideyoshi is rejected by Ogin, he threatens her and her father with arrest and worse.
