520 $a"A remarkable and true tale of loyalty, vengeance, and ritual suicide. In the spring of 1701, the regional lord Asano Naganori wounded his supervising official, Kira Yoshinaka, during an important ceremony in the ruling shogunate's Edo Castle and was at once condemned to death. Within two years, in the dead of winter, a band of forty-seven of Asano's retainers avenged him by breaking into Yoshinaka's mansion and killing him. Subsequently, all the men were sentenced to death but allowed to perform it honorably by seppuku. This incident--often called the Ako Incident--became a symbol of samurai honor andat once prompted stage dramatization in kabuki and puppet theater ... Hiroaki Sato's examination is a close, comprehensive look at the Ako Incident through the context of its times, portraits of the main protagonists, and its literary legacy in the haiku of the avengers"--$cPublisher's description.
