When the Samurai force known as the Shinsengumi were driven from their base in Kyoto, the tide of Japan's Boshin War had turned against the remaining Tokugawa Loyalists. Of their three surviving captains, no one knew what became of 10th Unit Captain Harada Sanosuke, until now. Based on a real-life 1965 rumor that surfaced in a Japanese newspaper, The Soldier and the Samurai is an epic generational tale of gratitude of a man who claimed to be the famous lost Samurai who mysteriously appeared in Manchuria twenty-seven years after his alleged death at the Battle of Ueno, saving the lives of three Japanese soldiers during the First Sino-Japan War before disappearing again. One man will seek out the truth of what took place during that 1895 encounter and the secret of a mysterious inscription written on the back of a Japanese tanto knife that will alter the course of his family for generations to come!
