Kanichiro Yoshimura is a samurai family man who can no longer feed his
wife and children due to the low wages paid from his small town clan.
Sadly, he packs up and leaves his loved ones behind so he may make a
higher earning to support his family in the big city as he joins the large and
renowned samurai faction, the Shinsen-gumi, where he will lead a difficult,
but enriching life during one of the most tumultuous times in Japanese
history.
