I decided to write about and research the temple of the 47 Ronin or Senkakuju. A lord called “Kira” was visiting the Shogun’s palace and was insulting a Samurai called Asano. Kira purposely knocked off his sandal but made it look like an accident and told Asano to put it back on. Asano lost his temper and drew his sword and injured Kira but had to do seppuku for drawing weapons in the house of the Shogun. His 47 retainers became ronin, samurai without a master, and swore to avenge their master. One ronin, Oishi, made a plan so for a year, the ronin were humiliated and insulted and treated badly. The ronin met at the house of Kira once a year passed and found him. Oishi offered him to do the honorable thing, seppuku but he begged for mercy so Oishi killed Kira. The ronin had to commit seppuku too because they killed Kira but they were honored because they endured many insults and misery to avenge their master.
