On June 6th, the opening day stage greeting for the movie "National Treasure" (directed by Lee Sang-il), starring actor Ryo Yoshizawa, was held in Tokyo, with Yoshizawa and co-star Mori Nana appearing on stage. During the stage greeting, Mori shared a surprising episode, saying, "In the read-through before filming, we did some sword fighting (not in the film). Yoshizawa really attacked me."
The film is based on the same-titled novel by Shuichi Yoshida, known for "Parade" and "Park Life." Set in postwar Japan during the period of rapid economic growth, the story follows the protagonist Kikuo (Yoshizawa), who was born into a clan of yakuza but was adopted by the family of kabuki actor Hanjiro Hanai (Watanabe Ken Watanabe), who meets Hanjiro's heir, Shunsuke (Ryusei Yokohama). The film depicts the epic story of two men of opposing bloodlines who risk their lives to devote their lives to the arts.
