Samurai from Nowhere

You travel the countryside with your wife, who hates your swords-for-hire work. She's of noble blood and regrets her choice. But a masterless samurai appears, one who'll do anything for a price. Uchikawa, more comfortable in the studio system, leaves you with the era's aftershocks.
