Tenkara Smart’s Reviews > His Name is Junsaku > Status Update

I love Junsaku's daughter, Fukano - Junsaku, a top samurai, teaches Fukano self-defense/martial arts and she can outrun/kick ass against all the boys in her school. Even though Fukano is banned from training in martial arts at school with the boys, expected to learn flower arrangement and other things to 'prep' her to be a wife, she won't settle, standing up against the discrimination shown to female martial artists.

If you like books like SHOGUN by James Clavell and even THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LaRUE - books of historical fantasy, magical realism, supernatural elements, and even romance, try HIS NAME IS JUNSAKU set in the world of the samurai in 17th-century Japan.
