{"product_id":"warriors-of-japan-as-portrayed-paul-varley-9780824816018","title":"Warriors of Japan as Portrayed in the War Tales","description":"A leading cultural historian of premodern Japan draws a rich portrait of the emerging samurai culture as it is portrayed in gunki-mono, or war tales, examining eight major works spanning the mid-tenth to late fourteenth centuries. Although many of the major war tales have been translated into English, Warriors of Japan is the first book-length study of the tales and their place in Japanese history. The war tales are one of the most important sources of knowledge about Japan's premodern warriors, revealing much about the medieval psyche and the evolving perceptions of warriors, warfare, and warrior customs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Varley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0824816013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780824816018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Hawaii Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.07w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1994 pg. 94","brand":"Paul Varley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756475543807,"sku":"9780824816018","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8348fbc6-1dfb-457b-b3c7-d476d19447b8.jpg?v=1706593085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warriors-of-japan-as-portrayed-paul-varley-9780824816018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
