    Came here after watching “shogun” TV mini series. Can someone recommend good novels about feudal Japan. Something that you can’t put down preferably

    1. Eiji Yoshikawa’s *Taiko*.

      And though it’s outside your preferred time period, I’d highly recommend *Musashi* by the same writer, which takes place after the Battle of Sekigahara.

    2. Well, have you read the novel, which this show is based on? Shōgun by James Clavell is an absolute masterpiece.

      If you are looking for something from a Japanese author look for Musashi and Taiko by Eiji Yoshikawa.
