एपि. 2: चाय के कटोरे के विवाद के बीच ससुके कियोहिदे को आत्मसमर्पण करने के लिए राजी करते हैं

Sasuke provides a satisfying answer. The lord turns the question to his three tea masters, and each in turn agrees on the perfectness of the Great Atakabune except for Sen no Soeki. Soeki remarks that the vessels would be much improved if they were all painted black. Nobunaga takes this suggestion without anger. At home, Sasuke meets with his brother-in-law, Nakagawa Kiyohide, before his brother-in-law departs for war under his lord Araki Murashige. Sasuke ponders on the beauty of a glazed pottery piece, and analogizes it in aesthetic value to his wife, Osen. Later, word arrives that Murashige has rebelled against Nobunaga. Sasuke is ordered to go to his brother-in-law and persuade him to surrender. When Sasuke arrives at Ibaraki Castle, he is dressed entirely in white armor. Kiyohide is surprised, but refuses to surrender and go against his lord Murashige. Sasuke reveals that he has brought his wife along, Osen, who is also Kiyohide's sister, and tells Kiyohide that since Kiyohide will die fighting if he does not surrender, it is only honorable that his family also suffer the same fate. Sasuke aims his blade for Osen's neck. Kiyohide surrenders. In the subsequent campaign, Nobunaga's forces corner Murashige, and Sasuke seeks Murashige's death to reap the rewards offered. Upon finding Murashige, Sasuke attacks, only to have the legendary tea bowl Araki Kourai fall out. Murashige exchanges the tea bowl for his freedom. Later, Sasuke is invited by Senno Soeki for a tea ceremony, in which Soeki uses an exact replica of the Araki Kourai. Sasuke is torn by what he sees as a betrayal to his own lord and Soeki's knowledge of his actions. (Source: Wikipedia)
