About The Elusive Samurai
Set in 1333, the Kamakura Shogunate — which laid the foundations for samurai rule over Japan — is destroyed by the rebellion of Takauji Ashikaga, a retainer who had been trusted by the shogunate.
Hojo Tokiyuki, the rightful heir to the shogunate, loses everything and is cast into despair. With the guidance of Suwa Yorishige, a shrine priest who claims to be a god, Tokiyuki escapes the burning city of Kamakura.
Arriving in the land of Suwa after fleeing, Tokiyuki meets trustworthy companions and builds his strength toward reclaiming Kamakura. In an era of upheaval — where warriors "fight and die" — he chooses to "flee and live" as his way forward.
In a turbulent age filled with heroes, the pursuit of Tokiyuki's path to reclaim the realm unfolds.
