'Katagiri'...the son of
Hanbei Katagiri?
:49:07
Yes, sir. He committed hara-kiri
over the Goken River improvements.
:49:11
He has his father's insolence.
:49:14
Continue.
:49:19
I am told Hazama Ieft in anger
when Toda chose you over him...
:49:25
...to Iearn the esoteric arts
of his school called 'The Hidden BIade'.
:49:30
Is this true?
:49:33
I am sworn to silence
about 'The Hidden BIade'.
:49:38
I beg your indulgence.
:49:39
Now, now. You won't get anywhere
Iosing your temper.
:49:44
Katagiri...
:49:46
...who is the better swordsman,
you or Hazama?
:49:54
Hazama, I would think.
:49:57
That's strange...
:49:59
You competed before His Lordship
some years ago, and of three matches...
:50:04
...you won two.
:50:06
Had we fought with real swords,
Hazama would have won.
:50:14
AII right, then.
:50:17
Have you received Ietters from him
since he Ieft three years ago?
:50:24
Two or three times,
New Year's greetings and the Iike.
:50:28
Katagiri...
:50:32
Don't write this.
:50:47
Who among the retainers here
is Hazama close to?
:50:53
You must know that.
:50:59
This is a Iist of those
who have studied under Master Toda.
