Weight: 3 lbs. 6 oz. Eiji Yoshikawa ( , Yoshikawa Eiji, 1892 - 1962) was a highly honored Japanese historical novelist. He often condensed and retold older classics such as Tale of Genji, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

For his magisterial novels, he was awarded the Cultural Order of Merit in 1960 (the highest award for a man of letters in Japan).<br/> <br/> SUPERB novel of 16th century Japan, when power struggles, palace intrigues, and Samurai warriors were rampant. <br/> <br/> Fine copy of this hefty masterpiece: Tight, bright, & clean in a bright jacket (price-clipped) with slight wear.
