Japan's greatest story is told in a new and exciting way. This is the story of
the 47 ronin of the Ako clan who rose up to avenge the brutal death of
their beloved master Asano Takumi-no-kami after his failed attack on the
vile Lord Kira led to his being ordered to commit ritual suicide in a garden
on the grounds of the shogun's palace. The story has been told many times,
but never like this. Powerful sword fighting highlights the carrying out of the
Vendetta of Obligation against a snowy backdrop of death!
