Taro will become a samurai and redeem the family legacy that has been stolen from him. A classic tale of adventure.
When the powerful Lord Takeda's soldiers sweep across the countryside, killing and plundering, they spare the boy Taro's life and take him along with them.
Taro becomes a servant in the household of the noble Lord Akiyama, where he meets Togan, a cook, who teaches Taro and makes his new life bearable.
But when Togan is murdered, Taro's life takes a new direction: He will become a samurai, and redeem the family legacy that has been stolen from him.
"The Samurai's Tale, poetic yet unflinching, is excellent." --Boston Herald
