Work Description

Seeking a new life in nineteenth-century California with his samurai father, a young Japanese finds it difficult to adjust to the idea of being a farmer and not a samurai.

Excerpts

It was the fourth month of the Year of the Serpent, 1869, and a fine spring rain fell softly over the town of Wakamatsu deep in the Bandai-Azuma mountains of Japan.
