<p><strong>WARRIOR.</strong> <strong>SAMURAI.</strong> <strong>LEGEND.</strong></p> <p><strong>The remarkable life of history's</strong> <strong>first foreign-born samurai,</strong> <strong>and his astonishing journey</strong> <strong>from Northeast Africa to</strong> <strong>the heights of Japanese society.</strong></p> <p>The man who came to be known as Yasuke arrived in Japan in the 16th century, an indentured mercenary arriving upon one of the Portuguese ships carrying a new language, a new religion and an introduction to the slave trade. Curiously tall, bald, massively built and black skinned, he was known as a steadfast bodyguard of immense strength and stature, and swiftly captured the interest, and thence the trust, of the most powerful family in all of Japan. Two years later, he vanished.</p> <p><strong><em>Yasuke</em> is the story of a legend that still captures the imagination of people across the world. It brings to life a little known side of Japan - a gripping narrative about an extraordinary figure in a fascinating time and place.</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
