The eight stories that comprise this collection were all written in the 1970s and 80s yet vividly evoke early 17thcentury Japan when peace finally reigned after centuries of warfare It was a period of upheaval and change as the rulers carved out their territories and clan politics were full of intrigue rivalry and betrayals The samurai were still valued for their swordsmanship and were a cut above the peasants artisans and merchants in the social hierarchy Without battles to fight however they struggled to retain their sense of pride and meaning in life as they devoted themselves to mundane jobs marriage and family The occasional flash of the sword and samurai discipline were tempered by the unexpected intrusion of human interaction Sympathies conspiracies kindnesses enmitiesall kinds of odd relationships were formed and conflicts resolved in surprising ways These tales are colorful atmospheric exciting tender violent and gently ironicThe Bamboo Sword and Other Samurai Tales is published as part of the Japanese Literature Publishing Project JLPP which is run by the Japanese Literature Publishing and Promotion Center JLit Center on behalf of the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan
