Castle! is Japan's hit satirical comedy that has been called a cross between Akira Kurosawa and Monty Python.
The samurai lord, Ondaiji, travels 400 years to fulfill his dream of raising a castle.
He finds an understanding professor, dim town officials, a mysterious old lady, and happy-go-lucky tramps who suggest the best material for the castle is cardboard. Cardboard? What will he do with his shachihoko?
