About

Ryōji Shinbei is a young and respected district governor in Isawa during the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate.
As armed conflict approaches Kōfu, Shinbei suddenly orders the collection of rice stored throughout the surrounding villages.
The farmers are shocked. The man they trusted now appears willing to take away the very grain their families depend upon.
But Shinbei has a purpose he cannot openly reveal.
In an age when armies demand supplies and political loyalties shift overnight, what is the true duty of a samurai entrusted with the lives of ordinary people?
"The Bushido of Rice" is a powerful historical tale about public duty, political courage, food, war, and the responsibility of government.
Written by Shugoro Yamamoto.Narrated by Shichimi Shungorō.Produced and published by Marutake Shobo.


料治新兵衛は、幕末の石和を治める若き郡代。治績に優れ、領民から厚い信頼を集めていた。
しかし官軍と幕府側の衝突が迫るなか、新兵衛は突然、村々に蓄えられた米を厳しく召し上げ始める。
「名郡代」と慕ってきた農民たちは困惑し、反発する。戦のために、民の命ともいえる米まで奪うのか――。
だが、新兵衛が集めた米には、誰にも語らない別の目的があった。
戦乱の中で武士が守るべきものは、面目か、命令か、それとも民の暮らしか。
『米の武士道』は、米をめぐる決断を通して、真の奉公と政治の責任を問いかける、山本周五郎の幕末武家小説です。
