Have you ever watched a stone grow ?
Have you ever been gifted a sunrise ? Learn to sip cha from an empty cup !
When does life mean its utmost ?
Do you know that life is but ' a dream within a dream' ?
Have you ever been visited by a kami ?
Do you want to know about the eightfold fence ?

Welcome to the world of Shogun - ancient Japan as discovered through the eyes of John Blackthorne - Pilot, Pirate, dictator on his ship, 'discoverer’ of the Japans - and now a prisoner forever.
James Clavell's SHOGUN, (the first book in his Asian Saga) perhaps one of the best books on Japan of the Samurai's circa 1600.
It recounts a highly fictionalized version of the life of William Adams a British Pilot (Navigator) on a Dutch Trader & his life after he lands in Japan at the start of the TOKUGAWA SHOGUNATE under Ieyasu Tokugawa (Tokugawa Shogunate's founder).
