Synopsis
In 1333, eight-year-old Hojo Tokiyuki loses everything when the samurai Ashikaga Takauji destroys the Kamakura shogunate and hunts down what remains of the Hojo clan. Taking refuge with the eccentric high priest Suwa Yorishige in Shinano Province, Tokiyuki discovers that his one extraordinary skill is evasion — an almost supernatural ability to dodge, slip away, and disappear. Unable to fight his enemies directly, he begins gathering a band of followers, each gifted in their own way, to wage a war of escape and cunning rather than swords.
