But Muna's mother has told Muna how he will know him one day: <em>by the sign of the chrysanthemum.</em> When his mother dies, Muna travels to the capital of twelfth-century Japan, a bewildering city on the verge of revolution. He finds a haven there, as servant to the great swordsmith, Fukuji. But Muna cannot forget his dream: He must find his father. Only then will he have power and a name to be reckoned with. Only then will he become a man.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A powerful and fascinating picture of the harsh realities as well as the beauty and excitement of feudal Kyoto."-- "School Library Journal"<br>
