☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fourteenth volume of the Usagi Yojimbo series collects stories featuring the ronin Miyamoto Usagi, alongside allies like the bounty hunter Gen and the ninja Sasuké. The collection includes the title story 'Demon Mask,' where Usagi confronts a supernatural threat, as well as tales involving the Neko Ninja clan led by Chizu, and appearances by Usagi's son Jotaro and his mentor Katsuichi.
In "The Inn on Moon Shadow Hill," Samo the thief makes a desperate move, hiding a precious jewel inside an unfired bowl before fleeing—only to leave behind a subtle mark that will unexpectedly spark a creative revolution. Written and drawn by Stan Sakai, this 2001 issue from Dark Horse captures quiet moments of consequence, where a single, accidental deformation sets a potter on a new artistic path. The story’s delicate balance of theft, artistry, and unintended legacy unfolds in a world where small choices ripple far beyond their moment.
In the quiet shadow of Moon Shadow Hill, Usagi finds refuge at an inn rumored to be untouched by the spirits that plague the nearby woods. There, he’s drawn into a test by a traveling merchant, who dares him to retrieve a sacred stone from a haunted graveyard—where the dead are said to walk.
In "A Potter's Tale," Mikasa Toyozo the potter stumbles upon an unexpected inspiration when a hidden thief, Samo, leaves behind a marked, deformed bowl in his shop. The accidental shape sparks a creative breakthrough, leading Toyozo to rethink his craft—though the thief’s true intentions and the fate of the stolen jewel remain shrouded in mystery.
