Item description from seller

Galley Press/W H Smith Publishers, 1983. Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket in Very Good Condition. Endpapers: Details from a screen depicting the siege of Osaka Castle; Page 1: Portrait of Minamoto Yoshitomo; Page 2-3: Himeji Castle. Full color illustrations throughout, many full page. Photographer Werner Forman. Black cloth binding is clean and unmarked with light scuffing to corners and spine head and heel; binding tight and solid. Internals as new. An intriguing portrait of an alien word, alien to those of us from the "West", that captures the varying moods of medieval Japan -- the austere disciplines drawn from Zen and from Confusian ethics, which safeguarded samurai domination and every attitude, the driving force of the samurai. For more than 700 years Japan was dominated by the samurai--a military caste of fearsome warriors. 128 pages, including Chronology, Glossary, Notes, Bibliography, and Index. 8.5 x 11.5 inches. 1983, Galley Press/W H Smith Publishers, New York, New York, USA.

Store description

Books have been one of the major loves of my life so to develop a home online bookshop when my children are all grown and with families that extend our whole family, seemed the natural thing for me to do. My BookShop has many, many selections of all kinds, with emphasis on history, literature, classical works, modern classic fiction,biography and unique books. Also look in my shop for children's books, books about the sciences, art, spirituality, religion--look for whatever you want! I love books and reading and I hope you do too. Your reading enjoyment is my goal.…
