What Life Was Like Among Samurai and Shoguns tells the story of a grand empresss unstoppable ambition to determine who would rule her nation, along with many other compelling tales of the men and women of medieval Japan. It focuses on the daily lives of emperors and artisans, samurai and poets, and courtesans and monks in the capitals of Kyoto and Edo, in the countryside, in various castle towns and military fortifications, as well as in action on the battlefield. People like Murasaki Shikibu who wrote of the romantic lives of the Kyoto courtiers in her Tale of Genji; the great warrior Kusunoki Masashige, who committed seppuku rather than face capture by enemy troops; and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who succeeded, when so many others had failed, in unifying Japan. Distinctive and colorful scroll paintings bring Japans people, places and events vividly to life. Fabulous artifacts, such as gold and silverdusted lacquerware boxes; kimonos of rich, embroidered silk; enigmatic No masks; and fearsome samurai body armor complete the setting of the scene.

I thought this book would focus more on battles and heroics, but it’s more about daily life among samurai and their families. While the content is interesting, I was hoping for more action. Still, it was worth the read!
