Very Good Condition – minor cover and edge wear visible.

A Samurai Warrior introduces young readers to the feared and respected warrior class of historical Japan. Anne Steel explains how samurai were trained from childhood, the weapons and armour they used, the loyalty they owed their lords, and the strict code of conduct that shaped their lives. The book also looks beyond battle to explore their homes, clothing, food, leisure, poetry, meditation, and carefully cultivated gardens. Clear text and detailed illustrations recreate the routines and responsibilities of a seventeenth-century samurai, showing how military service existed alongside ceremony, learning, and discipline. Part of the How They Lived series, it provides an accessible picture of everyday life in another time and culture.
