The Blade of the Courtesans

The Blade of the Courtesans

Keiichiro Ryu translated by James M. Vardaman

Looking for well researched historical with a sensuous wealth great great prose style interesting characters and action. Visit Edo with young Seiichiro and disocver the secrets and intrigue of the Yoshiwara and the Yagyu ninja clans.

The blurb states that this novel called Yoshiware Gomenjo was a bestseller and prize winner in Japan and I can believe that.

Have you read the Tale of Genji. Think of that depth of psychological detial and add samurai action! Sounds strange? No it works!

This is a book you will wan tto read slowly so you can savour every detail!

I hope many more of Ryu's books get translated to follow this one ASAP!
