Overview:	On March 14, 1701, in the royal capital of Edo, Lord Asano is goaded into attacking the higher ranking Lord Kiru while on sacred ground. As a result of this grave offense, Asano is told to commit hara-kiri, his house is abolished and his properties abandoned. But 47 of Asano's samurai retainers vow vengeance upon Lord Kiru. Carrying out this year-long plot, however, comes at a terrible price, for they ultimately will have to take their own lives, in order not to dishonor Asano's memory.
