Sado Kenran
Description:
The year is the Genroku era. A series of mysterious incidents occur on Sado Island, which is suffering from a sharp decline in gold and silver production. A chest of 1,000 ryo disappears from the treasury, a cave-in accident that claimed the lives of 36 people, a body crucified on a Noh stage, and a body hanging from a split door... At each crime scene, a bloody Noh mask called "Obeshimi" is left behind. Shizuno Yoemon, a furiganeshi (master of ceremonies), is ordered by the magistrate to uncover the truth behind the incidents as an assistant to Mase Kichidayu, the hall officer. While initially at odds with Kichidayu, as he continues his investigation he becomes deeply drawn to Kichidayu's talent, character, and mysterious past. What is the terrifying secret hidden in the Sado Gold and Silver Mine?! When the mystery of the Noh mask is solved, a shocking truth that will shake the world will be revealed!
