Ran : Hidetora Ichimonji's Decree

Lord Hidetora Ichimonji (Tatsuya Nakadai) abdicates the throne to his eldest son, Taro (Akira Terao), with the condition that he retains his formal title and privileges. He splits the three castles among his three sons, Taro, Jiro (Jinpachi Nezu), and Saburo (Daisuke Ryu). When Saburo criticizes the decision, Hidetora banishes him and the advisor, Tango (Masayuki Yui), who defends him.
