Proljetni povjetarac budi uspomene na prošle bitke. Ljetna polja gore vatrama izdaje. Hladne jesenje noći odjekuju krikovima demona. Zimski snijeg umrljan je krvlju časti. Godišnja doba nižu se u beskonačnom krugu rođenja, života i smrti - prirodnom zrcalu ratničkog hodočašća Miyamota Usagija, samuraja bez gospodara koji luta krajolikom feudalnog Japana, boreći se protiv nepravde i izoštravajući svoje duhovne i borilaške vještine.
