Scabbard Samurai

Kanjuro Nomi is an aging samurai who only has a scabbard. With a past that made him throw away his sword and refuse to fight, he now journeys to nowhere with Tae, his only daughter. Kanjuro becomes a wanted man for deserting his lord and is sentenced to a formidable task: he has to restore a smile to the sad prince who has lost his mother. He has thirty days to complete his assignment and he must commit seppuku if he fails. Will the samurai be able to save himself?
