calros 後輩 Joined 12 Aug 2004 Messages 6 Reaction score 0 1 Nov 2004 #1 I need to know the meaning of the word "Chushingura" (忠臣蔵), the story of the loyal 47 ronin . Does it mean "loyalty"? And "Akoroshi" (or Akorosi, or Ako Roshi) (赤穂浪士). Does it mean "Ronin of Ako"? If that's right, "Roshi" is "Ronin"?
