Description
[Machine Translation] March 14, the 14th year of the Genroku era. Asano Takumogashira, the feudal lord of Ako, was serving as a receptionist for an imperial envoy at Edo Castle. He was being entertained by an imperial envoy at Edo Castle when his superior, Kira Uenosuke, made fun of him in front of a large crowd. The flames of anger erupted. Asano drew his sword and slashed at Kira. The shogunate, which judged the incident, ordered Asano to commit seppuku (ritual suicide), but Kira was given a "no blame" verdict. This was a violation of the ironclad rule that both sides were to be punished for fighting. Asano's Ako Castle was in an uproar at this tragic news. How would the remaining samurai react to the crisis? How did they live? Eiji Yoshikawa's masterpiece in large letters.
