"A welcome antidote to the one-dimensional image of the samurai...a
revealing, entertaining, and often surprising portrait of
pre-modern Japan's heroic warrior elite." --"Mangajin"
"The value of this work lies in the way it illuminates a non-
Western cultural tradition--a way of thinking and acting that may
seem alien. It offers a rare look into the mindset of Japan's
warrior aristocracy." --"Library Journal"
