Description

He is the valiant lone swordsman, the ultimate individual warrior, the esthete, appreciating the beauty of the cherry blossom, seeing in its brief career his own short and glorious life. The commander of the host on the battlefield, the keeper of the peace, the aristocratic administrator and avenger of his master. Yet he is also a member of a class which ruled Japan for nearly 700 years.
