Takayama Ukon
19.99 €
You hold in your hands a historical novel by the outstanding Japanese writer Kaga Otohiko, named after his protagonist. Takayama Ukon (1552-1615) is a legendary figure. A major military leader, a participant in several battles that determined the fate of Japan in the period of internecine strife. A talented architect who created many impregnable castles and fortifications. One of the greatest masters of tea action. Finally, Takayama Ukon was a zealous Christian who did not compromise his convictions in the face of the violent repression of Christians that swept across Japan in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Thanks to the author's skill and erudition, the fate of dozens of Ukon's contemporaries from around the world, as well as many chronicles, biographies, historical documents and works of art of the era, are skillfully woven into the novel's plot. All this makes Kaga Otohiko's novel a true encyclopedia of traditional Japanese culture.
