Read real Japanese history - one sentence at a time.

This fully revised and expanded edition takes three essays from Japan's warrior past and breaks them down so upper beginners (JLPT N4-N3) can actually read them:

  • The Three Warlords Who Unified Japan - Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu, and the famous cuckoo poems that capture each man in a single line.
  • Sakamoto Ryoma, the Reformer - the low-ranking samurai who helped end the shogunate and open the door to modern Japan.
  • Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's Greatest Swordsman - including the duel at Ganryujima, won with a wooden sword carved from an oar.

Every sentence gets its own page: furigana on all kanji, a complete vocabulary list with grammar notes, and cultural notes and maps of Japan where they help.
