Description
Kamui-den was the very first entry in Shirato Sanpei's long-running series of manga set in 17th century Japan. Though ostensibly the story of the low-born ninja Kamui, it presents its setting in broad terms,depicting characters of various social backgrounds and the challenges they face.

The first series also included a heady dose of Marxist ideology which was present to a lesser extent (or simply not included) in later iterations. This leads to some confusion about the relation of the first series with later ones, such as the better known spin-off/sequel Kamui Gaiden. First appearing in the underground magazine Garo in 1964, Kamui-den is also a good example of the Gekiga style of manga devised by Tatsumi Yoshihiro in the late 50s. Oh, and the original series has never been translated into English.
