История повествует о том, как сорок семь бывших поданных самураев из Ако, ставших ронинами, отомстили за смерть своего господина, даймё Асано Такуми-но-Ками Наганори, церемониймейстеру при дворе сёгуна Токугава Цунаёси по имени и титулу Кира Кодзуке-но-Сукэ. В 1701 году Асано был приговорён к совершению харакири за то, что обнажил меч в стенах дворца Сёгуна и напал с оружием в руках на высокопоставленного чиновника Кира в ответ на оскорбления с его стороны. Тем же указом Сёгуна клан Асано был распущен и его имущество конфисковано. Потеряв своего господина и замок, как и источники дохода, около полсотни ронинов во главе с главным советником клана Оиси Кураносукэ дали клятву кровавой мести, понимая, что за это их ожидает смертный приговор.
