The program seeks to resurrect the castle by using clues from historical archives and ancient records left by Christian missionaries and using ICVFX technology and reenactments.<\/p>\n<p>It also investigates the fate of a gold folding screen depicting the castle that the warlord gifted to the Pope, now missing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the early stages of development, we worked closely with our respected partner, GEDEON Programmes, whose insight and expertise have enabled us to shed light on the beautiful history of the samurai warlords,\u201d said Yuko Fukuyama, senior producer of NHK\u2019s international co-production team. \u201cThey not only supported us by securing access to the Vatican, a key element in our documentary, but also guided us in creating a documentary with universal appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Isabelle Graziadey, deputy general manager of Terranoa, part of GEDEON Media Group, commented, \u201cThe samurais and their legendary castles have always fascinated audiences, and this film reveals Japan at a historical turning point when Shiga became the center of a country on the path to unification.
