A leading cultural historian of premodern Japan draws a rich
portrait of the emerging samurai culture as it is portrayed in
gunki-mono, or war tales, examining eight major works spanning the
mid-tenth to late fourteenth centuries. Although many of the major
war tales have been translated into English, Warriors of Japan is
the first book-length study of the tales and their place in
Japanese history. The war tales are one of the most important
sources of knowledge about Japan's premodern warriors, revealing
much about the medieval psyche and the evolving perceptions of
warriors, warfare, and warrior customs.
