EditBackground

Set in the late 1500s after the 7 year war, Samurai Akiyama tells of the adventures of a veteran samurai warrior who decides to move away from war and wander around Japan. On his travels, he stumbles upon a family who profess a different religion, a new religion: Islam. This story draws inspiration in the connections Japan had with Persia, India and the Ottoman Empire through commerce and the possible scenarios where Muslims were part of Japanese society.
