Legends of the Samurai
This is a collection of stories about the Samurai. I still cringe when I think of disembowelment and beheading, but if you can get through that, the Samurai had an interesting code of ethics. I have always been fascinated with Japanese History, but remember they mix legend and history. This was easier for me than some others because I have some understanding of the history of Japan. Therefore, I would recommend this to individuals that have a background where they have some exposure to Japanese civilization.
