Kinsaku, le poète guerrier

Kinsaku, the youngest of a long line of warriors serving Japan's lords, doesn't speak much. To the point where the others call him "Kinsa the mute". He doesn't like to fight either, to his father's despair, who persists in teaching him combat lessons. Kinsaku dreams of something else, of poetry, of words dancing and organizing in his head but cannot get out of his lips... He'll have to learn how to fight, but to be heard. Basho-Kinsaku Matsuo is one of the founding fathers, in the 17th century, of poems as haikus.
