47 Ronin by Jennifer Bassett

A Samurai Story from Japan

The story of the forty-seven ronin is a very famous one
in Japan. It is a true story about real people, but many
of the facts are now lost in time. Soon after the ronin
took their revenge, the story was retold in plays, known
as Chushingura. Since then the story has been retold in
song, story, drama, television plays, visual art, and many
films. Each time the story is retold, the details change.
But one thing does not change — this story is still as
famous in Japan today as it was 300 years ago.

The story begins in Edo (now modern Tokyo) in spring
1701, in the Shogun’s palace. Lord Asano is taking
lessons in palace ceremony from Lord Kira, one of the
lords in the Shogun’s palace. Kira has only hard words
for Asano, and by the end of that terrible day, Lord
Asano is dead. Asano’s samurai are now ronin— samurai
without a lord or master. They have no home, no place
in the world. They have only loyalty to their dead lord.

This is the true story of the forty-seven Ronin...
