Told almost as a Japanese storyteller would tell it, this tale of feudal Japan follows a young man, his father and a swordsmith’s household, among them the girl O Tetsu, after a magnificent blade enters the family. Muramasa’s swords were said to thirst for blood, and duty, love and vengeance follow the weapon.
