Burning Incense at Sengaku-ji Temple, the Graves of the 47 Ronin
The 47 Ronin were group of samurai who were left leaderless when their lord, Asano Naganori, was ordered to commit seppuku as punishment for assaulting Kira Yoshinaka, a shogunate official (who, according to the legend, had been deliberately provoking Asano). The ronin avenged their master's honor by killing Kira, after waiting and planning for a year. However, the 47 Ronin then had to commit seppuku themselves as punishment for committing murder.
