Summary

The Shimane Prefecture in the 16th Century: When the unprotected hometown of Gosuke, again and again, falls victim to a ruthless bandit band, the swordmaker's son decides to go the way of the samurai. Leaving behind his wife and family, he discovers a Japan that fights for its identity as much as he does himself. Moral and traditions are decaying, firearms are displacing man-to-man combat, and the young warrior is about to realize that the challenges beyond the simple mountain world are far bigger than expected.
