The powerful show of musical and sword fight is a moving story in which the present age and the Heian period intersect, with the theme of Taira no Masakado, named after Kanda Myojin. A new type of entertainment show restaurant where you can enjoy both dining and watching the theater. <Synopsis of the show> In the middle of the Heian period, Taira no Masakado, who was born in the Kanto region far from the political center of Kyo, defeated the enemy with his innate heroic talent and indomitable spirit. It became known. However, a large army is sent to Masakado, who was regarded as the enemy of the imperial court. Then Masakado, who was struck by an arrow on his forehead and died unfortunately, transformed into a grudge and revived. The daughter of the late Masakado [Takiyashahime (Mayhime)] turns herself into a monster from her father's remorse, and takes revenge on the imperial court and samurai with her friends. The imperial court dispatches samurai to subdue Takiyashahime, and some demons [Yashamaru], who are half of humans and demons who eat monsters, are hired to hunt down Takiyashahime. During the battle, Yasha Maru realizes that the hearts of the people who remain in Princess Takiyasha are similar to herself. The enemy of the imperial court and the monster who resents it fall in love, but the two desperate to live in the human world decide to commit suicide to each other. The illusion of Masakado who mourns the pattern asks people's hearts, creating three worlds of this world, ghost world, and another world, leading to harmony. The samurai who lamented their series of actions in this world worshiped Masakado and praised them until posterity. In response to Masakado's thoughts of "destroying the strong and helping the weak," Onmyoji evokes the story of Masakado and the people who continued to think of him. When the seven thoughts were led to the sky and turned into stars, the true thoughts poured down.
