The Finest Bilingual Samurai Book
The later work of the great Hiroshi Hirata, master of jidai gekiga, is collected here for the first time. This collection of his illustrations features a wide selection of pieces from his famous Satsuma Gishi Den and Kubidai-hikiukenin masterpieces.
Great care has been taken to perfectly reproduce the original illustrations. The scope and detail of the gripping battle scenes remain intact, and every piece communicates the master's gifted penmanship and haunting genius. Also included in this volume is an English translation of Hirata’s story "Two Warriors".
