2022 Awards

 


The 2022 Awards are here, while it will be small this year, the quality is high.

Documentary: Rirekisho BS11  This show is hosted by Yuri Nakanishi and Kaku Kozo. The show has covered many historical topics, but as for the Sengoku Era, it has just about covered everything.  The show is easy to understand and the guests are local historians than the national famed ones.  A breath of fresh air.  So far the show has covered Nobunaga, Okehazama, Oda Nobuhide, Saito Dosan, Azai Nagamasa, Asakura Yoshikage, and others.  You can usually watch the show on YouTube.

Book of the Year:  The Samurai Encyclopedia A Comprehensive Guide to Japan's Elite Warrior Class.  I received this book about a month ago and I am impressed.  The author, Constantine Nomikos Vaporis has done a fantastic job of breaking down the warrior class of Japan.  This 449 page book is published by Tuttle.  It does cover some events related to Nobunaga such Nagashino. I plan to write a proper review soon since it needs it.


Tenka no tame!
