The story is set in the early years of the Edo period. Juan Goto, a samurai under Masamune Date and the lord of a region called Fukuwara, is visited by a ninja named Senki on the orders of their lord.

Nowadays, the Tokugawa Shogunate's oppression of Christianity is becoming increasingly severe. But Juan, as a devout Christian, doesn't stop his missionary work and is now a wanted man.

Senki is on a top-secret mission to take Juan to a certain place.

A blessing reaches the Christian samurai who risks his life for his faith.
But the clutches of the persecutors are just around the corner...!!

The story is set in the end of the Edo period. At a training hall, Master Meisui is teaching the art of the cane staff to his pupils Sarasa and Mori.

To help them understand why they are learning the cane art, Meisui tells them an anecdote while demonstration it. Just then, a man comes to the gate and listens to the story that leaks out from inside.

The spirit of a true samurai is to “lay down the sword”--
What hope does this paradoxical teaching offer the man who will lead Japan into a new era!?
