Samurai Executioner

首斬り朝

Asa is the Shogun's executioner, a master samurai whose blade is the last thing many condemned prisoners see. He lives inside a prison world where few good stories are told, a place thick with vengeance, greed and violence, into which depravity and sin flow long before they reach his block.

The men and women brought before him are undone by their own crimes, and those crimes lead them to a world where blood, bondage and agony are ordinary. Asa keeps his wits about him, and that may be enough to set certain things straight, though the world he serves leaves him little room to do it.

It is a life of sword study, steeped in tradition and grim purpose, and of a man who holds his ground while the people around him decline.
