Books, Manuscripts
In the 18th century, 47 samurai avenged the death of their master in a plot that would take over two years to complete. After succeeding in their mission, the masterless samurai - known as ronin - all committed ritual suicide. The story, which is a national legend, remains the most potent example of Japan's deeply rooted cultural imperative of honor, persistence, loyalty, and sacrifice.
