Welcome to "The Wanderer's Road", home of the Ronin, vagabonds, brigands, and other nomads who appear in the pages of USAGI YOJIMBO. There is actually no one location of The Wanderer's Road, as it stretches the length of 17th Century Feudal Japan, from Hokkaido to Kyushu. Most of the activity which occurs in Usagi Yojimbo, occurs on the main island of Honshu. The Wanderer's Road is a road leading to no physical destination, but rather a mental or spiritual one. "The Road to Hell", "The Warrior's Pilgramige"... these are but mere pathways along the infinite journey that is The Wanderer's Road.
