Yasuke The True Story of the Legendary African Samurai by Thomas Lockley

5.0

While this book took time to read it is definitely worth. I didn't know that there was an African samurai till I read this book and it was fascinating to find out about Yasuke and now he came to be a samurai in a time when Africans weren't really seen in Japan yet except in a few select circumstances.

I enjoyed this book a lot so I would recommend you check it out should you want to know about mid-1600s Japan when samurai were highly thought of and nearly the ruling class at the time.
