| Description: |
Muna, an illegitimate Japanese boy, searches for the Samurai father he has never met. When his mother dies, Muna travels to the capital of 12th-century Japan, a city struck by war between the powerful Genji and Heike clans. Muna cannot forget his dream. He must find his father. |
| Synopsis: |
Muna has never known his father -- a samurai, a noble warrior. But Muna's mother has told Muna how he will know him one day: by the sign of the chrysanthemum. When his mother dies, Muna travels to the capital of twelfth-century Japan, a bewildering city on the verge of revolution. He finds a haven there, as servant to the great swordsmith, Fukuji. But Muna cannot forget his dream: He must find his father. Only then will he have power and a name to be reckoned with. Only then will he become a man. |
