The trailer released Monday shows the fighters wielding swords as they attempt to steal one another's wooden tags, which are worn as necklaces.

The show is adapted from Shogo Imamura's book Ikusagami, which has already served as the inspiration for a manga series.

"I wrote Ikusagami with the intention of making a historical novel that could be enjoyed worldwide," Imamura previously said.

The series takes place in 19th century Japan, and Junichi Okada stars as the main character Shujiro Saga.

"When Netflix approached me, I was overjoyed. And having Junichi Okada in the lead role was a dream come true, as I had envisioned him as Shujiro while writing," Imamura continued.
