Assault on the house of Kira Yoshinaga by the 47 Ronin under the leadership of Oishi Yoshio (1659-1703). The true story of the 47 Ronin (masterless samurai) of the province of Harima is probably the best-known story of the valor and ideals (the Code of Bushido) of Japan's famous samurai warriors. The story tells of a group of samurai who were left leaderless (became ronin) after their master was forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) for assaulting a court official named Kira Yoshinaga (whose title was Ko-zuke no Suke), who had insulted him. They avenged him by killing the court official after patiently waiting and planning for over a year. In turn, they were themselves forced to commit seppuku for committing the crime of murder, as they had known they would be - the tale being about the honorable fulfillment of revenge, especially for an honorable leader.
