Story
For those looking for the real story behind the fictionalized movie account of the 47 Ronin story, this is the definitive, fascinating account of this unforgettable tale of a band of samurai who defied the Emperor to avenge the disgrace and death of their master, and faced certain death as a result. It led to one of the bloodiest episodes in Japanese history, and in the process, created a new set of heroes in Japan.

Story
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

Story
When Grace, April, and Poppy join the US Army Nurse Corps, they see it as little more than an adventure, one made all the better by their first station: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Joined at the hip, idealistic Grace, exuberant Poppy, and brave but haunted April frolic in the sun, attending parties, flirting with the handsome soldiers, and becoming fast friends with seasoned nurse Eva. Like the Hawaiian sun, their future seems warm and bright - until the infamous morning of December 7.

Story
From a European-Western perspective, much of what is related to the state of Japan, including its history and culture and the people who live there, seems not only foreign, but also in some ways inaccessible and incomprehensible. Those who do not deal with it explicitly often have no connection to Japan at all. This, of course, is also true of Japanese mythology. In contrast to Greco-Roman or Nordic-Germanic mythology, the level of knowledge about it in the West is rather low.

Story
The classical poetry of Japan focuses on direct experience of fleeting moments, in total contrast with its Occidental counterpart. These seminal poems were passed down orally, before great collections reassembled works of art spanning several centuries in written form as early as the 8th century, from the Kojiki to the Kokinshu. Later, a number of female writers rose to prominence (Murasaki Shikibu, Sei Shonagon); then in the 17th century, the haiku form became extremely popular, in large part due to the work of Matsuo Bashō, a prolific writer and traveler.

Mokusei eröffnet auf literarische Weise verschiedene Blickwinkel auf das Land der aufgehenden Sonne: Japan. Arnold Pessers, Fotograf aus den Niederlanden, erkundet das Land für einen Auftrag und schwankt zwischen Kritik und Verklärung. Das Land, das zum einen den Westen imitiert, ist gleichermaßen ein Symbol verklärter Erhabenheit. Schließlich trifft er auf ein japanisches Modell, das er fotografieren soll, und nennt sie fortan nach einer der wenigen Blumen in Japan Mokusei. Zwischen den beiden entspinnt sich eine Liebesgeschichte der besonderen Art.

Efter Japans nederlag under anden verdenskrig, var landet blot en skygge af det imponerende kejserdømme, det havde været i årtusinder før krigen. De japanske soldater blev henrettet på stribe for deres krigsforbrydelser, men paradoksalt nok lod man kejseren gå fri. Karl Eskelund besøgte landet i de vaklende efterkrigsår og talte med japanske borger, politikere og rettighedsforkæmpere om dette paradoks og meget andet. Bogen giver et unikt indblik i japanernes forsøg på at rejse sig som nation og finde en plads i den nye verdensorden. Karl Johannes Eskelund (1918-1972) var en dansk for
