Kuroda Kanbei: Fear the Punishment of Retainers and Peasants (Minerva Japanese Biographical Selection) by Tetsuo Owada

Uncover the mind of one of feudal Japan's greatest military strategists with Kuroda Josui: Shinka Hyakusho no Bachi Osorubeshi, a detailed biography by historian Tetsuo Owada. The book traces the life, intellect, and political vision of a strategist who played a crucial role during the turbulent Sengoku period, examining how he navigated power, loyalty, and governance under some of Japan's most demanding lords.

Published as part of the Minerva Nihon Hyoden-sen series, this volume continues the series' reputation for sharp, well-researched biographies that bring complex historical figures within reach of modern readers. Owada draws on his deep knowledge of samurai history to give shape to Josui's strategic mind and the choices that defined his career.

Offered in brand new condition, this book is a fitting addition for historians, students, and collectors of Japanese literature: an authentic publication straight from Japan for anyone eager to deepen their understanding of the Sengoku era.
