A man chasing the perfect tea bowl while empires burn around him sounds absurd until you realize he's the only one asking what any of it is actually for. Sasuke's obsession with beauty and material fortune isn't shallow, it's his anchor in a world where loyalty and morality are negotiable, where warlords reshape the map daily and most people never stop to ask why. The show moves at the pace of ceremony itself, letting you sit with small moments of human contradiction until they become philosophically devastating.

During Japan's Warring States period, Furuta Sasuke serves as a vassal under the powerful warlord Oda Nobunaga. His true fixation, though, lies with the tea ceremony and with worldly possessions, which he pursues in hopes of a fortunate life. Taught by both Nobunaga and the renowned tea master Sen no Soueki, Furuta follows the path of the hyouge mono. Adapted from Yamada Yoshihiro's award-winning seinen manga, the series mixes comedy and drama across 39 episodes.
