'Chushingura; Or, The Treasury of Loyal Retainers' is also known as the Tale of the 47 Ronin. It is one of the most famous stories in Japanese history and literature . The plot of the story is based on a series of actual events at the beginning of the 18th century. Chushingura tells the story of a group of samurai who have lost their Master to ritual suicide ('seppuku'). The suicide was ordered as honorable atonement for the master's purportedly unjustified treatment of some court official. The term 'Ronin' refers to samurai (also known as 'retainers') who are masterless - which usually means their master was killed or disgraced. Now, the ronin plan to take revenge agains the official guilty in the death of their master.
