sleepyboi2988's review against another edition
5.0
You know how most books with x number and the adjective "Great", "Amazing", "Mind blowing" etc follows are usually not that good?
This one beats that stereotype, it has every right to be called that. This book is beautiful, I wish it were longer honestly. The detail of the artistry, the armor, the scenes are phenomenal. Captions are perfunctory but perfect. The art ranges from action, poignant, thoughtful, and even humorous.
If you even have a passing interest in Samurai art, please get this book or find it at your library, I can almost guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful full-color spreads gathered from two 19th-century texts of samurai ukiyo-e by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
The introduction gives a brief synopsis of the "47 Ronin" history, providing more context for the captions under each panel.
