Synopsis: In the year 1590, powerful daimyo Toyotomi Hideyoshi nears his plan to unify all of Japan, but he comes across a floating fortress known as Oshi Castle. Narita Nagachika/Mansai Nomura, in charge of defending the castle, must use his army of 500 men to combat Toyotomi Hideyoshi/Masachika Ichimura's army of 20,000.
There are two well known featured casts: Koichi Sato and mana Ashida (child actress)
Insight: "The Floating Castle" was originally scheduled for release September 17, 2011, but postponed after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11th, 2011. The movie features character Hideyoshi Toyotomi who implements a war strategy by using an "attack with water method", which the filmmakers felt might be inappropriate at such a close date to the natural disaster.
