| Video Discription | 47 Ronin or Chushingura is one of the most famous samurai stories in Japan. On December 14th, 1702 47 masterless samurai (ronin) attacked and killed their late lord's enemy. This caused quite a controversy because on the one hand they were seen as upholding their samurai code of loyalty but on the other they had broken the law and had killed a government official. Eventually it was decided they would have to die but instead of being killed as common criminals they would be allowed the honor of seppuku - ritual suicide. Ako in Hyogo prefecture holds a festival every December 14th honoring their hometown heroes with a 3-hour long parade with marching bands, dancers, chanbara sword performance, and taiko drumming.
