By means of a series of indelible portraits of these world-famous warriors, Constantine Vaporis deepens our understanding of samurai culture, revealing how during the relatively peaceful Tokugawa shogunate (1600-1868), these battle-hardened fighters reinvented themselves as bureaucrats, scholars, teachers, and artists, reflecting Japan's emergence from isolation to the global stage.
