Willow Pattern, for the Commodore64, is an action game inspired by the characteristic "willow pattern" design used on ceramic kitchenware since the end of the 18th century, inspired by the patterns on Chinese porcelain. The in-game graphics and locations are taken from the original "willow pattern" painting. The game's storyline takes its inspiration from the legend invented to promote sales of the patterned houseware.

I get that people are wondering why I call them 'Samurai Warriors' in the game, but this is how they are described in the game manual (Don't shoot the messenger)

Chang and Koong-Shee are in love. Problem is Chang is a clerk and Koong-Shee is a Princess. To make matters worse she is being forced against her will to marry a merchant called Ta Jin and being held in the large palace grounds of a Mandarin palace. You play Chang and you must enter the Palace grounds, get a key and find the hiding place of the Princess to rescue her out of the grounds and take her far away in a boat. Guarding the Princess, scattered around the grounds are giants who block the paths and some even throw swords at you.
