Synopsis
Tourism anime for Ogaki City, following noble teen Oam's life during Sengoku Era, blending past and present perspectives.
A tourism promotion anime for Ogaki City in the Gifu Prefecture. It is based on Oam Monogatari, a book about a woman who spent her coming-of-age during the Sengoku Era. Oam is the main character and is the daughter of Yamada Kyoreki who is a vassal to the warlord Ishida Mitsunari. It offers one of the few historical viewpoints of a noble teen/woman's life during the wars. The anime jumps between past and present as we learn about Oam's experiences at Ogaki Castle during a turbulent period in Japanese history, and how she navigated the challenges faced by women of her status during wartime.
