MUSASHI
By Eiji Yoshikawa
ISBN 9784770019578
£24.00

It is a fictionalized account of the life of Miyamoto Musashi, author of The Book of Five Rings arguably the most renowned Japanese swordsman who ever lived. The long epic comprises seven "books" detailing the exploits of Miyamoto Musashi, beginning just after the battle of Sekigahara, following his journeys and the many people who become important in his life, and leading up to his climactic duel with Sasaki Kojiro on Ganryujima (Ganryu or Funa Island). Musashi becomes famous during the course of the novel as he searches for both perfection in swordsmanship and in consciousness.

I Am A Cat
by Soseki Natsume
ISBN 9780804832656
£21.00

This is a satirical novel written in 1905–1906 about Japanese society during the Meiji Period; particularly, the uneasy mix of Western culture and Japanese traditions, and the aping of Western customs. Soseki phrased his work's title, Wagahai wa neko de aru (= I Am A Cat), in very formal language incongruous with its meaning. Written with a majestic plural, it conveys a grandiloquence and self-importance intended to sound ironic, since the speaker is a house cat.
