The Shogun TV mini-series piqued my curiosity as a kid and I read a shit ton of Stephen Turnbulls books on Samurai, battles, monks, ninja, castles and other things.

and I read these. Lone Wolf and Cub is old school manga that inspired a lot of movies including Road to Perdition |
That is the same Mishima. I loved Shogun by Clavell. Tai Pan was another good one by him. I think I heard Shogun is getting a new miniseries soon. I’ve never picked up Lone Wolf and Cub. I heard the author had just passed away.
