Ep. 12: The Blood Rain of the One Hundred Foxes of Shinshu - Part II

12

Sakon suspects foul play, and finds blood spatters on hydrangea flowers in the nearby Byakko Temple grounds. Legend says that the Temple was built to venerate the spirits of 100 foxes whose blood the master swordsmith Muramasa used during the quenching process to forge the Byakko sword. Sakon suggests that someone else killed Souichirou Akizuki and placed the blame on his son Kyouichi. (Source: Wikipedia)
