Review of "The 47 Ronin: A Story of Samurai Loyalty and Courage" by Barry Till

This is the story of an important historical event. It is told that these 47 Samurai extracted revenge for the death of their lord. The story is told mostly through the woodblock art of several masters of this art form. The prints show the actual details and history of the event. There are also color photos of the clothing and the weapons of the Samurai warriors.

The book is a beauty to own and enjoy for anyone who likes Japanese art or Japanese history. The woodblock pictures are amazingly detailed and are shown in full color. Each page is a piece of history and an art piece to savor.
