The Oni’s Lore
Kazan Yamaoka sought to return samurai culture to glory, embarking on a dark pilgrimage to rid Japan of impostors. He killed across hills and valleys, beaches and woodlands. The killings were brutal, cruel and morbid. He humiliated farmers and warriors alike, yanking off their topknots and stripping them of their armour. His rage, bloodlust and perverse dishonour knew no bounds. Monks believed he was possessed by something otherworldly. He became known as “Oni-Yamaoka" -- the Demon Samurai.
