Abstract

Legend of a Duel to the Death, alternatively known as A Legend or Was It?, is an exploration of the brutality of Japanese militarism. A young woman who has been evacuated to Hokkaido with her family during wartime receives a marriage proposal from the son of the village head, but declines on account of his barbarous acts during World War II. She and her family are ousted from the village, but her suitor refuses to give up.
