{"product_id":"the-gangster-and-the-samurai-yuramei-9781495342813","title":"The Gangster and the Samurai","description":"Fate is a fickle thing, fortune a double edged sword.\"Being born into wealth and privilege may be the dream of most, but a fat, friendless child with no company but his books will find that money brings no real comfort.I was such a child and came quickly to the conclusion that to endure the mundane is not compulsory when one can retreat to one's thoughts and live the life of a samurai.I chose my own path. An existence of honour and adventure which I shared with my beloved fellow warrior, Hyung.Even I, at times, thought him to be a figment of my imagination, so when he appeared as a flesh and blood man in the offices of the Yakuza organisation, the Tatakai-gumi, my world was turned upside down.\"Kanno Sakamoto is a renaissance man. Homosexual, archer, swordsman, gardener, chef, pianist, gangster and fantasist - here he tells his own story.A dark, often humorous and sometimes challenging tale of love, lust and murder which is not for the faint of heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuramei, Katsura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1495342816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781495342813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Yuramei","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985868292351,"sku":"9781495342813","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72e58010-e752-4f14-8ff3-e4b593f2ba1e.jpg?v=1683280016","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gangster-and-the-samurai-yuramei-9781495342813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
