		In his retelling, Mitford ends the story by stating that the legend paints a "picture of fierce heroism which it is impossible not to admire" (Mitford 37).
		He begins his account of the forty-seven rônin with a description of Sengakuji, where the forty-seven and Asano are buried.
		His attention to detail reflects his attempt to retell the story as was told to him, and as close to the actual course of events--as he understood it--as possible, which results in a fairly accurate account of the Akô incident, embellished by famous legends as the story of Kamei and Murakami Kiken.

	The 47 Ronin
		He also shared Tsunetomo's belief that the ronin ought to have commited suicide at the Sengakuji once their deed was done.
		In giving themselves up to be judged, they appeared to have hoped to receive a light sentence and therefore continue living -a shameful objective, given their crimes.
		The Sengakuji is still a popular spot in Tokyo and a place for modern admirers of what many feel were the finest examples of samurai loyalty to emerge from the Edo Period.

		The 47 Ronin (masterless samurai) will be honored on Dec. 14 at Sengakuji Temple in Shinagawa, Tokyo, for their display of fidelity which has historically stood as an example of heroism to the Japanese people.
		The 47 retainers, lead by Oishi Kuranosuke, immediately hatched a plot to avenge the death of their lord Asano but, to allay the suspicions of Kira, they pretended to live a life of drunken debauchery for more than a year.
		Then on a cold winter night, the 47 Ronin gathered and stormed the mansion of Kira in Honjo, cut off his head with the sword Asano had used to kill himself and carried the head to the Sengakuji Temple in Shinagawa, where Asano is buried.

		After I said my prayers and took pictures at Sengakuji, a very energetic--and somewhat pushy--older woman came hurrying past with the day's shopping and asked me in to the temple's living quarters for "teatime"--virtually her only word in English.
		After hearing my story, she gave me a new face towel, some fruit, and a charm (omamori) for "success." Then she volunteered to go in and ask the chief priest if I could stay (although, she said, they were full-up with disciples).
