White square. Saga of sambo

Distant Japan, the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms, the art of combat, and love that changes everything. Two people approached the white tatami square from different sides - a noble officer, who had mastered judo as a prisoner of the country "where the sun rises," and the son of exiled parents, who had achieved a high rank in the sacred art of judo at Kodokan. Two individuals, united by a common cause, but divided by politics and personal beliefs. They could have been friends if not for the bitterness of betrayal. It is against this betrayal that they both must wage an uncompromising battle. But what do you do when the person closest to you is involved in deceit, when the bitter taste of poison is woven into your late love?.. This story, composed of two parts "Sakura Petal" and "Fate's Capture," is published in one book for the first time.
