47 Ronin
Japan, 1701
Japan, 1701
In the early 1700’s, 47 Samurai became Ronin after their Lord was forced to commit seppuku for assaulting a court official. The Ronin avenged their master's honor by patiently waiting and planning for over a year to seek revenge. In turn, they were forced to commit seppuku - as they had known they would be - for committing the crime of murder. This story is still popular in Japanese culture as an example of the loyalty, sacrifice, persistence, and honor that all good people should aspire to.
