Genre: Historical drama
Length: Movie, 79 minutes
Distributor: Currently unlicensed in North America

Notes: Based on a fiction novel by Sakami Kenichi.

While often mistaken for a Ghibli film, this was actually animated by Studio Pierrot. The scriptwriter is Miyazaki Akira (not Hayao). The character designer, however, is Ghibli regular Kondou Katsuya (Kiki's Delivery Service, Ocean Waves).

Synopsis

The setting is Ancient China in the year 1607, and the 17th Sokan Emperor has died. The transitional period for the Emperor's son to ascend to the throne is underway. One of the tasks that must be done is to find suitable candidates to become part of the new Emperor's harem, with the most qualified candidate becoming 1st Empress, second only to the Emperor himself.

Ginga, a spunky and outspoken young village girl, hears of the calling for lovely girls and hears that all harem girls receive three meals a nap in the Royal Palace. Naturally, she applies, and despite misgivings from some of the officials, is escorted to the Forbidden City for her training, education, and testing, only to suddenly find herself in the middle of a deadly web of intrigue.

You see, it seems that the previous Emperor didn't die of natural causes, and that his son isn't the one that certain people would like to see next on the throne. Not to mention that elsewhere, a peasant uprising against the Imperial government is steadily gaining strength and momentum. Will Ginga's courage and never-dying hope be enough to save the new Emperor, her fellow harem candidates, and herself as well?
