Shimakko (SEKIYA Hisashi)

HATTORI Tonbei, a wandering middle-aged, masterless samurai, unexpectedly starts travelling with a genius boy swordsman who is hunting his parents’ enemies. Along the way a real wolf and a beautiful swordswoman also join them, and a great turmoil develops. This could be called the author’s posthumous work, that is fitting for the author’s final years.
