December 14th, 1702 47 Ronin (masterless samurai) became immortalized in Japanese history and culture when they launched a surprise attack on their late master's enemy and avenged him. Their loyalty is celebrated to this day in various locations. On the Sunday before December 14th, Kisshoji Temple, a temple related to the Asano clan, they have a festival where children dress as the 47 Ronin, martial arts such aikido and iaido are performed, and taiko drumming is done. Also in attendance was Kansai Photos
