 Prophecies of Nostradamus

In 1853, Genta Nishiyama begins preaching the prophecies of Michel de Nostradame using a copy of his book "Centuries".When Nishiyama is executed by the Tokugawa Shogunate for supposed heresy (after discussing the arrival of "black ships" that will end Japan's long isolation), his wife and son flees with the book in hand, passing down the knowledge to future generations.
