Musashi is a novel in the best tradition of Japanese story telling. It is a living story, subtle and imaginative, teeming with memorable characters, many of them historical. Interweaving themes of unrequited love, misguided revenge, filial piety and absolute dedication to the Way of the Samurai, it depicts vividly a world Westerners know only vaguely.

    Now the Yoshiokas are fighting for their future, and Musashi must face his most difficult contest--in a battle that will change his life forever. Previously published by Harper & Row.
