The incident of the Forty-Seven Ronin (1701-1703) is a famous historical event that exemplifies the crisis of Japan's transformation from a military to a civil society. It involved a group of samurai who were left leaderless (becoming ronin) after their daimyo was forced to commit seppuku for assaulting a court official. They avenged their master's honor by killing the court official, which led to their own forced suicide by the government. This event highlighted the tension between the samurai code of honor and the evolving legal and governmental structures of the Edo period.
