With peaceful times in Edo resulting in wide ronin unemployment, poverty-stricken samurai, Hanshiro, calls on the House of Ii, seeking a noble end by ritual suicide. Hoping to dismiss the demand, headstrong lord, Kageyu, recounts the tragic story of another young ronin, forced into an agonizing suicide using a bamboo blade. But in doing so, reveals the horrifying fate of Hanshiro's loyal friend, Motome, setting in motion a tense showdown of vengeance against his house.
