An American born young mother of Japanese descent gives birth to her first son in Mukuden, Manchuria. It's 1940 and Japan has not entered the War yet, but for a decade, it has been slowly occupying and colonizing all of Asia, including China. The father is a Japanese national, an architect and engineer by trade, operating a construction company, building houses for Japan's colonization efforts in Manchuria. His family name Nabeshima, hails from a long line of samurai lineage from Saga Prefecture, in Kyushu, japan. Japan enters the war, is defeated and the family, sans the father who was killed serving the Imperial army on the Russian front, in the war is re-patriated back to Japan. The mother remarries an American soldier, Sargent Robert Melver and the family relocates to Texas. Nabeshima Norio, aka Bill Melver describes his life as an American Samurai, raised in a value system, steeped in the traditions of the samurai code and how those values are sorely needed in the America we find ourselves in today.

Autumn Lightning written by Dave Lowry and has been published by Shambhala Publications this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001-07-17 with Sports & Recreation categories.

Dave Lowry juxtaposes his singular experience as an adept student of kenjutsu (the art of swordsmanship) under a Japanese teacher in St. Louis with a riveting account of the samurai tradition in Japan. Intertwining tales of the masters with reflections on his own apprenticeship in the samurai's arts, he reveals in their time-honored methods a way of life with profound relevance to modern times. The result is a fascinating, singular autobiography. Lowry captures the sense of wonder and mystery that makes martial arts compelling to so many practitioners. Even those who do not practice martial arts will delight in this unusual coming-of-age story.

Yasuke written by Thomas Lockley and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-05-02 with Africans categories.

The remarkable life of history's first foreign-born samurai, and his astonishing journey from Northeast Africa to the heights of Japanese society. The man who came to be known as Yasuke arrived in Japan in the 16th century, an indentured mercenary arriving upon one of the Portuguese ships carrying a new language, a new religion and an introduction to the slave trade. Curiously tall, bald, massively built and black skinned, he was known as a steadfast bodyguard of immense strength and stature, and swiftly captured the interest, and thence the trust, of the most powerful family in all of Japan. Two years later, he vanished. Yasuke is the story of a legend that still captures the imagination of people across the world. It brings to life a little known side of Japan - a gripping narrative about an extraordinary figure in a fascinating time and place.
