Kiyomori’s First (清盛の大一番) (1x24)

Air date: Jun 17, 2012

Shinzei, who is actively engaged in political events, sends Kiyomori to Chinzei to raise money by collecting unpaid taxes. Meanwhile, Shigemori, Kiyomori's eldest son, not accepting Kiyomori following Shinzei--the person who ordered Kiyomori to kill his uncle, is reluctant with the marriage arranged by Kiyomori. After successfully fulfilling his duty in Chinzei, Kiyomori devises a plan to improve his status by using a tea set he obtained there.
