A tale of high adventure and survival!
In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi
Sugimoto searches the wilderness of Hokkaido for a hoard of hidden gold.
With only a cryptic map and a native Ainu girl to help him, Saichi must
also deal with every murderous cutthroat, bandit and rogue who knows
about the treasure!
Asirpa and Sugimoto are back in Hokkaido at last and determined to find
the Ainu gold for themselves. Lieutenant Tsurumi and Hijikata are also
hot on their trail. While Sugimoto and Shiraishi work on a plan to find
a strange tattooed prisoner named Botaro the Pirate, a series of
horrific murders in Sapporo draws Hijikata's attention. Lieutenant
Tsurumi sends Tanigaki to kill Sugimoto, but the loyal Matagi has only
one true goal--finding Inkarmat!
