Musui's Story: The Autobiography of a Tokugawa Samurai by Katsu KokichiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is enlightening and enjoyable. Any idea you had of a typical samurai is both shattered and confirmed in many ways. Kokichi is by no means an admirable person. Even when he states he's been a bad person all his life it sounds like a humble-brag of sorts.
Regardless, the book is extremely interesting and it's a journey into life of a Japanese Samurai during those times.
