Plot summary
Mokunoshin Tsuzuki is a young wandering samurai with no master. He settles in a village of poor peasants, helps them bring in the rice harvest, and keeps his sword arm sharp by crossing blades with Ichisuke, the teenage son of the family he lodges with. An elderly samurai named Sawamura arrives to gather warriors for the civil war in Kyoto, and Tsuzuki agrees to go with him. Sawamura also accepts the eager but untrained Ichisuke, over the objections of the boy's sister, Yu. A band of disbanded outlaws led by Sezaemon Genda then reaches the village, and Tsuzuki tries to keep relations with them calm.
