What Sword of Desperation is
Snow on the castle walls. A lone hawk circles. Sanzaemon, haunted by a past killing, trains with a wooden sword. His late wife's niece quietly tends the garden. Soon he must duel a master. A minor work of chambara that finds its intensity in character rather than action.
