A Secret Letter to Yoshiko (1x34)

Uitzenddatum: Aug 28, 2005

Having Benkei back from Kumano, Yoshitsune and his troops slowly advance on the sea to Nagato, where the Heike family has fled to. On the way, Yoshitsune succeeds in winning more local navies to the Genji’s side. In Nagato, Tomomori and the rest of the Heike family are on alert but confident since sea fight is their forte, while Tokiko feels anxiety and works out a trick to protect the very young emperor. Hearing that it was Yoshiko who was on the boat holding the pole with the fan at Yashima, Yoshitsune worries about her safety. As a battle is approaching, Yoshitsune secretly writes to Yoshiko to let her know the way to protect herself from being attacked by the Genji’s army in the battle.
