Hachi Shu Gari Chohen Jidai Shosetsu (Kobunsha Bunko Sa 18-42 Natsume Kage Ni Ro Shimatsu Tabi 1)

[Machine Translation] A man was released from jail in Kodenmacho, Nihonbashi. His name is Kagejiro Natsume. Just before he was to be sent to Tojima for his crime, Kagejiro was released from prison, and what awaited him was the task of cleaning up the corrupt Hachishu-mawari. He confronts those who lurk in Sekihachishu with the famous sword "Hojoji Sajo," which he reforged from a large naginata sword, and a nanban outer garment. The first work in the series, which can be said to be one of the origins of Yasuhide Saeki's work, is now available in a definitive edition. A special biography of Saeki Kanae is included at the end of the book.
