What should one doubt, and what should one believe in to live? This masterpiece depicts the path to truth in order to make humanity a free being. Amidst the chaos of war, Ikkyu wanders, interacting with people from all over. He experiences countless encounters and partings, with people of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of wealth, status, gender, or social standing. Many people admire Ikkyu and revere his personal charisma. His pursuit of enlightenment is both a gentle redemption and a stern question for the world. Cultural giants such as Murata Jukō, the founder of "Wabi-cha" (a form of tea ceremony), and Kaneharu Zenchiku, a Noh performer who received teachings from Zeami, become interested in Ikkyu and forge deep friendships with him. Meanwhile, Yosō, who once opposed Ikkyu, becomes the abbot of Daitoku-ji Temple and is recognized as a high-ranking monk by the Emperor.
