What happens

The Kiyosu Conference (清須会議, Kiyosu Kaigi) is a 2013 Japanese period comedy film directed by Kōki Mitani. The film is based on a novel of the same name written by Mitani a year prior, itself a reference to the real-life Kiyosu Conference (Kiyosu Kaigi) held on June 27, 1582, the first joint political decision made in Japan.
