The Thousand Mask Warrior

Slippage

Just References and Inspiration

Dear readers, this chapter I present a little intermezzo, a mere slip. Since I have already labeled my story as 'historical fiction', there is a kind of mental and moral burden to provide references and references as the background and foundation of my story.

Only, this does not mean at all that the story of the Thousand Mask Swordsman is purely true and precise in its historical references, it is still a fictional name. The hope is that I can share the references and inspiration from where and how this story was made. All the mistakes and inaccuracies of the historical background, purely my faults and sins.
