Spectacular and expressive tales of samurai are fact-based chronicles of the incredible adventures of the famous heir to the rulers of the house of Oguri, the heroic warrior Sukeshige and his selfless beauty wife Terute. All the virtues of a true warrior are embodied by Sukeshige and his brave companions. Their loyalty to the samurai code and ability for mercy are respected, and their martial arts skills, thanks to which they win in any battle, are amazing.

Presenting the texts of legends, the famous scientist, writer and translator, specialist in Japanese literature James Benneville analyzes the peculiarities of life, rituals, customs and moral views of the people who managed to preserve and pass them from generation to generation for many centuries.

The narrative is accompanied by illustrations in the traditional style of Japanese drawing.
