In this shimmering spring

Ah, with ever anxious heart

The blossoms are falling.

An age of peace and tranquility that crashed to a close with a war so violent it shattered the foundations of Japan, toppled the old order and gave rise to the Shogun, Heian era Japan was the twilight of one age and the dawn of another. It was a time of great change and opportunity, a time of strife and trouble.

In the new supplement from Burning Wheel Headquarters, you play fearsome bushi, trapped between honor and shame, wise Shinto priests who seek to placate the spirits who protect Nihon, powerful Buddhist monks who pray for the souls of the dead while plying strong influence at court, and powerful courtiers battling for control of the failing state. Whatever role you choose to undertake, you will determine the fate of the era: will Nihon walk her doomed path, or will history be changed? Will the state survive or will it descend into anarchy? Will the emperor retain his rule, or will the samurai rise and claim his power? You are at the center of this maelstrom and you will decide!
