: Often referred to as Ōoku: The Inner Chambers or The Lady Shogun and Her 3000 Handsome Men .

The story follows Mizuno Yunoshin (Kazunari Ninomiya), a young man from an impoverished samurai family. To save his family from poverty and give up on his impossible love for a wealthy merchant's daughter, Onobu (Maki Horikita), he enters the Ōoku (the Inner Chambers of Edo Castle).

The meeting concluded with a mutual respect that was not initially present. The Lady Shogun had proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with, not just a novelty.

The film’s final act is devastating. Without spoiling the ending, LFTH refers to the Shogun’s desperate search for a future that doesn't exist.

The film was praised for its lavish costumes and subversion of gender norms but criticized for slow pacing. It remains a beloved title among jidaigeki fans and was followed by a TV series in 2012.
