Sadamune Appears! (
Tokiyuki spends his days undergoing strenuous training to perfect his sword techniques – something he’s told to do to take back Kamakura for himself. However, everyone was surprised by how weak his swordsmanship was. It turns out that Tokiyuki was much better with another weapon: the bow.[1]
Synopsis[]
Tokiyuki practices his swordsmanship every day in order to recapture Kamakura. However, his swordsmanship is so weak that it surprises everyone!
Tokiyuki's only speciality is the bow. Yorishige is troubled by his tactics, which utilise both "escape" and "bow", when suddenly he receives news of a visitor. The visitor to Suwa Shrine is Ogasawara Sadamune, the newly appointed governor of Shinano.
As a way of greeting, Sadamune shows off his unparalleled archery skills, and Yorishige comes up with an ingenious idea. The power structure of the various regions began to shift with the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate.
The fate of Suwa is entrusted to Tokiyuki.[2]
