A samurai prison guard who saw the humanity in even the most savage prisoners, an untalented warlord relentlessly obsessed with protecting his people, a lady-in-waiting of ancient Japanese court who turned herself from a single-mom bookworm into a best-selling author and savior of the ruler of Japan, an impoverished samurai clan that overthrew two centuries of oppression…
Japanese history holds a wealth of underrated figures, each with an inspiring story of perseverance and determination that remains untold. Embark on a journey to relive eleven life stories of resilience and triumph of eleven remarkable underdogs.
A fascinating collection of new perspectives for understanding Japanese values and traditions through underdog stories.
