壬生义士传

by 浅田 次郎, 周晓晴 (translator)

When the Last Sword Is he was adept in the pen and the sword; teaching at a school and a dojo; he was a good teacher to his students; he was willing to bear the burdens of hard work at home, and was the caring father in the eyes of his wife and children. However, he came to Kyoto somehow and became the Hitokiri at the frontline of the war. What was the reason for this drastic change? Although in the turbulent times happy and free life was such a luxury, love and responsibility in peoples heart could not be erased.
