About This Item
Fanfare Ponent Mon, 2019. Assumed First Edition . Trade Paperback. Fine. 6" X 8 1/2. Pages are not numbered. This is a Japanese style Comic Book that reads from Right-to-Left. Exiled from Japan during the Beshin War in 1868 as the new Meiji government took hold, two defeated samurai, Hikosaburo and Manzo eventually settle in Crow territory in North America. One day out hunting, Hikosaburo, encounters a young native female who has just given birth hidden in the scrub. Called Funning Deer, she tells of how she escaped from white traders who had 'bought' her. They soon came looking for their possession. Saved from the murderous deceit of the traders by the Chief of the Oglalas, Crazy Horse, they soon formed a profound friendship and respect for each other's cultures to the extent of Hikosaburo and Manzo being renamed Sky Hawk and Winds Wall and fighting alongside their new brothers in their struggle against the invaders. Taniguchi gives an accurate portrayal of the Indian Wars of the period culminating in the infamous Little Bighorn encounter.
