In part one, Kobayashi is tasked with discovering the truth behind the death of a respected samurai in a grove near the Rashomon gate. Each party involved has their own version of events, and nobody seems to know the absolute truth. It's a frustrating case, and even Kobayashi's friend Hattori Hanzo is at a loss.
Part two sees Kobayashi investigating the revenge killing of a powerful official, who happens to have benefited from the unsure outcome of part one, marrying the widow of the slain samurai. Now, it is three years later, and he himself ends up dead, retaliation for his part in the forced seppuku of a samurai clan master. Now, the clan, 47 ronin, have taken their revenge and caused great political upheaval in the region. It is up to Kobayashi to find the best solution, but certain parties have their own ideas.
