The League of the Divine Wind
The 1876 Shinpuren Rebellion (Shinpuren no ran) was one of a number of ex-samurai uprisings which took place in the early Meiji period against the new Meiji government of Japan. The rebellion began in Kumamoto on 24 October 1876. (Read more about it in Samurai. Legend by A. R. Berg.)
For a true samurai, youth is brief — yet infinitely beautiful: a time of daring deeds, when body and spirit are in full bloom, the will unbreakable as the blade, and the heart burning brighter than the sun, calling the young warrior to an immortal feat.
“The League of the Sacred Wind” — a hundred young warriors, almost boys, who fearlessly gave their lives for the Emperor, to defend their homeland from corruption and decay. With their own blood, they inscribed the ideals of Bushidō into the eternal chronicle of Yamato, hoping their truth-blinded descendants would one day awaken.
