Shoka
In the time of the shoganate someone is causing trouble. The city is being attacked by giant creatures and the shoganate's forces are not up to the task. It is the work of a calligrapher, someone who can bring creatures to life from kanji and artwork , and it is up to the art clan to put a stop to this rampage. The clan sends three of its best warriors, each with their own art combat specialty which will come in handy as the warriors find that the calligrapher is someone they know, someone with a grudge and he has monstrous plans for vengeance.
