The Elusive Samurai

About the story

In the year 1333, the Kamakura shogunate, which had laid the foundations for samurai rule in Japan, falls because of a rebellion by its deeply trusted retainer, "Ashikaga Takauji." Having lost everything and been plunged into despair, the shogunate's rightful heir, "Hojo Tokiyuki," escapes from the burned ruins of Kamakura under the guidance of "Suwa Yorishige," a priest who claims to be a god.
