In 16th century Japan peasants Genjuro and Tobei sell their earthenware pots to a group of soldiers in a nearby village in defiance of a local sage's warning against seeking to profit from warfare. Genjuro's pursuit of both riches and the mysterious Lady Wakasa as well as Tobei's desire to become a samurai run the risk of destroying both themselves and their wives Miyagi and Ohama.
