Thousand Arrows

It is the sixteenth century and all Japan is at war.

The emperor is irrelevant. The shogun is weak. Feudal warlords called “big names” have carved the nation into warring states. The bonds of friendship and loyalty fade and fall before towering ambition for conquest and glory.

The grand prize is none other than the unification of Japan under a single overlord. Perhaps all Asia is next.

Thousand Arrows is the story of the Japanese Warring States Period’s leaders— knight-commanders, Buddhist teachers, spymasters, peasant revolutionaries, even the gods and spirits themselves—as they establish themselves and seize the course of history.

The story you tell will be worthy of historical narratives like the Tale of the Heike, period dramas like Kurosawa Akira’s films, or graphic novels like Lone Wolf and Cub or Usagi Yojimbo.
