Kyokutei Bakin's Nansō Satomi Hakkenden is one of the monuments of
Japanese literature. This multigenerational samurai saga was one of
the most popular and influential books of the nineteenth century
and has been adapted many times into film, television, fiction, and
comics. His Master's Blade, the second part of Hakkenden, begins
the story of the eight Dog Warriors created from the mystic union
between Princess Fuse and the dog Yatsufusa and born into eight
different samurai families in fifteenth-century Japan. The first is
Inuzuka Shino, orphaned descendent of proud warriors. Left with
nothing save a magical sword and the bead that marks him as a Dog
Warrior, young Shino escapes his evil aunt and uncle and sets out
to restore his family name. Unaware of their karmic bond, Shino and
the other Dog Warriors are drawn into a world of vendettas and
quests, gallants, and rogues, as each strives to learn his true
nature and find his place in the eight-man fraternity.
