Mitsukuni Furugi Ya Sohyoe Shoden (Shincho Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Mitsukuni Mito, the head of the three families of the Gosanke clan, grew increasingly angry at Tsunayoshi's unjust and tyrannical policies, such as the "Decree for the Pity of All Living Things" and his warped policy on the succession of shoguns. The shadow of Takamitsu Takamitsu, a priest, looms behind Tsunayoshi. Under a promise to Ieyasu, the Tobisawa family has served as the Tokugawa guardians for five generations over the past 100 years, outwardly as used clothing wholesalers and inwardly as hidden bannermen. This special 100th anniversary edition of Shincho-Bunko depicts the young Sohei Katsuyori, who wavers between the shogun's family and the greater good.
