// Musui’s Story: The Autobiography of a Tokugawa Samurai - Katsu Kokichi

A rare first-hand account of 19th century Japan told through the unfiltered eyes and voice of a real life samurai. Kokichi describes an adolescence filled with hard luck and misdemeanor, and an adulthood spent using street smarts and muscle to provide for his family. Throughout this storytelling he’s able to shine a light on the class systems, feudal presence, and societal rules of a time that remains mysterious to much of the outside world.
