This is an amazing story, which takes place among
the Warrior Class,
in 18th Century Japan, in the feudal Tokugawa
days of old Japan.

"The forty-seven Ronin (or masterless Samurai)
were ordered to commit Seppuku (or ritual suicide)
for their vindictive slaying
of a corrupt court official whom they held
responsible for bringing about
the death of their master, Lord Asano.
Asano was the brash young Daimyo
from the country..."

"Though based on an actual incident,
many details
have been lost to history,
and, as a result, several versions of
the forty-seven Ronin
story have been told."
