Fusehime 伏 姬
Edit ProfileCareer
Fusehime proceeded to Toyama, accompanied by her faithful dog, Yatsubusa, and became pregnant, inspired by the spirit of the dog. Ashamed of it, she committed suicide. The rosary she carried around her neck, which was made up of eight jewels, flew to eight provinces. From each of the jewels was born a brave samurai. The eight samurai inspired by the loyal dog’s spirit restored the Satomi family, which had been on the decline. The romance was published in 1814-1841.
