A WONDERFULLY TOLD TALE OF THEATRE AND TRIBULATIONS

I read this book some years ago, and it has a special place on my "To Read Again" shelf. It majestically describes the discipline, slavery and beauty of medieval Japanese society. A tale of triumph over adversity, and optimisim over despair. You will enjoy it.
