Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Ishida Kurobei, also known as Shining Blade, is a slippery outlaw who had been plaguing government officials throughout the summer of 1654. A ronin, Kurobei had been organizing an uprising of fellow masterless warriors in Kyoto, Japan's old capital. But Deputy Inspector Tanaka stopped him dead, capturing Kurobei and locking him up in prison. Authorities can breath a sigh of relief at last. On the other side of town, however, the senior ronin Shimada Goro-formerly an advisor of Kurobei's deceased father-rallies Kurobei's ronin recruits and counsels them to continue their training. He promises to set Kurobei free and revive the plan for a ronin insurrection.Also walking the streets of Kyoto is an unassuming young woman named Aki. Even though she's a simple firewood carrier, Aki is highly curious and has learned a lot about what's been going on from her widowed mother and her teacher, a nun at the imperial convent of Enshoji.Aki is surprised to find two unsigned and disturbing notes, addressed to her and left tacked to the doorjamb of her home. The first note claims someone had murdered her father, and the second note alleges that the Zen master of the Enshoji abbess had also been slain. After racking her brain to figure out who'd left the notes, Aki concludes they were both written by Deputy Inspector Tanaka as a secret warning. Having spotted her mother meeting clandestinely with the deputy inspector, Aki deduces that he's her mother's boyfriend and that he hopes to protect her. Although Aki decides to stay quiet about the matter, she's suspicious of the deputy inspector and her mother, whose behavior is increasingly unpredictable. Meanwhile, Aki begins to question the critical attitude toward ronin expressed by her mother and her teacher. She recognizes that the masterless warriors face serious problems, and she decides to defend them as men of virtue and rectitude. Is Aki right? Are the ronin long-suffering victims of government oppression?Aki is about to learn the truth! This page-turner is an action packed tale of rogue masterless warriors, determined police, and daring spies in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This is the second installment in a story of struggles between ronin and followers of the Edo shogun. It's an action-packed work of historical fictional about masterless warriors, police detectives, and undercover agents in Kyoto, Japan's old capital, during the early Edo period. In the late summer of 1654, the streets of Kyoto are flooded with the masterless warriors known as ronin. Unable to find work and dissatisfied with their lot, some ronin have chosen to live as outlaws. The most notorious of the bunch is the young and murderous Ishida Kurobei, self-styled Shining Blade. For weeks, undercover government agents led by Deputy Inspector Tanaka had been tracking Kurobei. Finally, they'd cornered him, and, in the struggle that ensued, a female agent had landed a crippling blow to the head of the ronin before collapsing herself. Tanaka had discovered the wounded Kurobei lying alongside the lifeless body of his female agent. Wasting no time, the deputy inspector had arrested the unconscious Kurobei and had delivered him in shackles to the guarded emergency clinic at Second Street Castle.The following morning, and the deputy inspector is summoned to the office of Magistrate Gomi, his boss's superior. Gomi informs him that Kurobei had regained consciousness overnight and, with outside help, had escaped. In the absence of Tanaka's immediate superior-Commissioner Wada, who is away on business-the magistrate charges Tanaka with capturing the criminal once again.Shimada Goro, a senior ronin who formerly had served Kurobei's father, now deceased, goes looking for Kurobei and finds the fugitive in the abandoned barn where ronin recruits have learning to fight. Goro attempts to dissuade Kurobei from his murderous intention to lead a ronin uprising, arguing that Kurobei's wrath serves no purpose.Meanwhile, a young firewood carrier named Aki is determined to figure out what's going on in her world. Intrepid and curious by nature, Aki has many questions. For one, she wonders why her teacher, the nun Bunkai, is so concerned about the simple task she asks Aki to perform, carrying secret letters in the bundles of kindling that she delivers around town. Bunkai has cautioned Aki, explaining that the task might put her in harm's way. When Aki tells the nun that she sympathizes with the masterless warriors, Bunkai warns Aki about the ronin, saying that they cause troubles across the realm and that the Edo shogunal government protects the people from violent warriors with no master. Aki responds, expressing sympathy for ronin who face hardships and restrictions imposed by the shogun and his Edo officials. What Aki will soon learn is that Shining Blade is quite close and her deliveries put her in danger. This is the second installment in a story with crime, adventure, spies, and masterless warriors.
