Hikari Mau (teens' best selections 46)

[Machine Translation] I've never met a male seamstress before. You look like a child. He was asked how old he was every time he worked. His father, a vassal of Mitsuhide Akechi, was killed in battle, his younger sister died, and his mother left him to wash heads on the battlefield. He left his father, who was killed in battle, his younger sister, and his mother, who washed his head on the battlefield, and at the age of seven, he decided to go his own way. The "seamstress" Taira Shiro is surrounded by a colorful cast of characters. The life stories of people who lived through the turbulent times are depicted!
