2.TaikoTaiko
from Kodansha International
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Sometimes hard going, always engrossing. While there are some artistic licences used, generally it holds true to known history of that period of Japan. I had to pay attention to the writing, as when I speed read, I will jump over some minor plot points. It is a good to read something other then... more info

from University of California Press
Price: $24.25

Customer Review:
This is a truly amazing study. I read it for a class I was taking on medieval Japan. The professor warned that this book was very dense and difficult to read, but I thought - No problem! It's under 200 pages, I'm a fast reader, I like the subject.

So let me restate: this book is a DENSE read.... more info

4.Japanese Fortified Temples and Monasteries AD 710-1602 (Fortress)Japanese Fortified Temples and Monasteries AD 710-1602 (Fortress)
from Osprey Publishing
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
I found this book to be an excellent companion book to Turnbull's earlier Osprey Fortress series book on Japanese castles. Although the title read "AD 710 to 1602", most of the core coverage of this book lies with Sen-joku period of Japan, basically between 1540 to 1600.
A short book of 64... more info

The first thing I noticed about this book was its stunning artistic quality: with full-color art illustrations and diagrams, and beautiful layout throughout, it's worth owning just for its image content.

from Columbia University Press
Price: $20.70

Customer Review:
I've found this book to be poorly documented, full of unsuported radicle claims and circular arguments. Souri makes no effort to explain what he calls Japan's inherent military and industrial suporiority afer other Asian nations but meerly accepts it as an axim and proceeds to explain it. Add to... more info

7.Early Samurai AD 200-1500 (Elite)Early Samurai AD 200-1500 (Elite)
from Osprey Publishing
Price: $16.15

Customer Review:
I was very disappointed by this book. I expected to get a book about the early samurai and, instead, I got a book which focused mainly on the history of early Japan. Half of the text is taken up by an excellent, but unwanted history of Japan's early political development. That's NOT what I paid... more info

If you've read these series, you know all you should about men such as Iizasa Choisai Ienao, Kamiizumi Ise no Kami Nobitsuna, Nennami Okuyama Jion, and Chujo Hyogo no Kami Nagahide.
