Description
The year is 1735. The place is Japan, on the Tokaido Road. Seikei, the 14-year-old son of a tea merchant, has only one aspiration: to become a samurai warrior who lives and dies by the code of "loyalty, courage, and honor." But no matter how hard he tries, he can never achieve his goal, for one must be born into the majestic world of the samurai. Seikei seems to lose all hope until a precious jewel, en route to the shogun, disappears without a trace, and the young boy is the only witness to this strange crime. Together, Judge Ooka, a legendary samurai, and Seikei, try to solve this ghostly mystery to find the missing ruby. Will Seikei become a true samurai after all?
