During a dark age of demons and ghosts in the Heian period (794-1185 AD), the Emperor relies upon the imperial order of the Onmyoji, who are the esperts of the supernatural power, to protect the kingdom. However, as the birth of the emperor's heir approaches, political intrigue and jealousy will lead to the most dangerous of betrayals - from withing the Onmyoji and the Emperor's family! It will be up to the most talented of the order, Seimei (Mansai Nomura), to face his master, Doson (Hiroyuki Sanada), and the dark magic that threatens to detroy them all!
The mystical perils and dazzling splendor of the 10th century Japan vividly come to life in Director Yojiro Tkita's spell binding adaptation of ONMYOJI. Mansai Nomura (from Akira Kurosawa's RAN and Japan's most distinguished performer of Kyogen, a classical theater art form) leads a star-studded line up, co-starring Hiroyuki Sanada (from RINGU, RINGU 2, THE LAST SAMURAI, and winner of 4 Japanese film awards), in an amazing fantasy saga packed with a thrilling plot and beautifully choreographed action.
