The more than three hundred years from the Genpei War to the Onin Rebellion, that is, from the early 12th century to the mid-15th century, was the war-torn era known as the "Middle Ages" in Japanese history, and death enveloped Japanese samurai at any time.
This book focuses on the "War Era" from the Mongolian invasion to the Onin Rebellion, that is, the "War Era" from the mid-13th century to the mid-15th century, and paints a true and colorful picture of Japan's medieval history: samurai are more afraid of death than pursuing merit; not all so-called "evil parties" are evil people; court nobles are braver than samurai.
It breaks through the traditional conclusions of previous studies on the history of Japan, re-examines this period from a contemporary perspective, and vividly outlines the true appearance of the people living in that "war era".
