Description and Table of Contents
Description
This epic set in Feudal Japan begins in the closing decades of the 16th century, when the shogunate has crumbled and rival warlords battle for supremacy. During the devastation that follows, three men dream of uniting the nation -- one of which is a sandal bearer who would become Taiko, absolute ruler of Japan in the Emperor's name. Includes a heraldry chart and maps.
