This is the story of a friendship between Zeami, the greatest playwright and a performer of Noh, a traditional Japanese theater with song and dance, and Yoshimitsu, the third Shogun of Muromachi Shogunate when they were 11 and 16 years' old. It began in 1374 and ended in 1408, when Yoshimitsu died. An era when the landmarks of ' Japanese culture, ' such as flower arrangement and tea ceremony were nurtured. Yoshimitsu and Zeami may be compared to Louis XIV and Moliere or Elizabeth I and Shakespeare, some 200 or 300 years later.
