Description:

TOYAMA NO KINSAN TATSUMAKI BUGYO - Magistrate Toyama No Kinsan investigates the tragic shipwreck of the 'Sado-maru' near Cape Kasumigaseki. The ship was carrying gold bars from Sado Island to Edo for the Shogunate and simply disappeared on a day with clear skies and no wind.

While it is conveniently blamed on a surprise tornado or whirlwind, the Sado Magistrate appeals to his lifelong friend Magistrate Toyama to uncover the mystery in order to salvage his reputation and escape a life of disgrace. While not all stories are true, Magistrate Toyama did make a major impact on the policies of the Tokugawa Shogunate during the early part of the 19th Century.
