"Walter Dixon" is a man with a long, distinguished career in the military, but now he's retired. He had no idea what to do with his life after that, so he started writing short stories about the samurai warriors of old. In his lifetime of service, he had studied many ancient texts, and he thought they were far more interesting than any modern-day novel. One day while sitting on a park bench in Japan's Kyoto district, a bystander joined him in telling stories of the legendary swordsmen who once fought fiercely for their homeland.
