Reseña del editor:
When the Elite Corps of Samurai known as the Shinsengumi were driven from their base in Kyoto, they were branded Imperial Rebels. Of their 300 members, few survived. Of its three famous surviving Captains, no one knows for certain what became of 10th Unit Captain Harada Sanosuke. Based on a real life 1965 rumor that surfaced in Japanese newspapers, The Soldier and the Samurai is a tale of gratitude and redemption that tells the story of a mysterious old man who claimed to be the famous lost Samurai who surfaced in Manchuria saving the lives of three Japanese Soldiers during the first Sino-Japan War before disappearing again. It will be up to Nishida Keisuke to solve the mystery of the elderly Japanese man's identity who saved him and that of a mysterious inscription written on the back of a Tanto knife that will alter the course of his life and that of the Nishida family for generations to come!
Biografía del autor:
American Mishima is the work of author Louis Edward Rosas, the son of Mexican Immigrants whose father Luis served in the US Army in Vietnam. In his youth, he grew up on glamorized war films and military aviation in the sleepy seaside plains of Oxnard California. It was there he watched waves of replica Japanese Warplanes fly overhead as they filmed various WWII dramas including The Black Sheep Squadron out of Oxnard Airport. Instilled with an early fascination of the Second World War during the post Vietnam era, it was his exposure to Akira Kurosawa's Samurai epic Ran (Toho, 1985) that changed his views on war while creating a lasting impression of Japanese culture and history. Further inspired by the works of famed Japanese author & playwright Yukio Mishima, Rosas would go on to become immersed in study of Japanese language, history, and swordsmanship which led him to the practice of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism & Shinto. Rosas has also trained in Shinkendo, the ideal practice of the Samurai code of Bushido in the modern world under its founder in Little Tokyo which helped shape the creative force that is American Mishima.
