1. Scene from [47 Ronin Festival](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzH-gE8XUfo) in Yamashina, Kyoto. On December 14, 1702 47 Ronin attacked the mansion of their late master’s enemy killing 16 and wounding 22. Their lord’s enemy was offered the chance to commit seppuku which was seen as a samurai’s right and way to keep his honor. He refused and was killed with the same blade their master had used in his seppuku.
