Publisher's Summary: Japan, 1745, is a land under the iron grip of the Tokugawa shoguns. Roads are monitored, dissent stifled, and order maintained through blackmail and an extensive network of informers. Amid rumors of rebellion, Kurosawa Kinko—samurai and monk—is expelled in disgrace as the head music instructor of his Zen temple in Nagasaki. He begins an odyssey across Japan, dogged by agents and assassins from an unknown foe. Along his journey, Kinko encounters a compelling cast of merchants, ronin, courtesans, spies, warriors, hermits, and spirits, on a quest to redeem his honor. Inspired by the life of the historical Kurosawa Kinko (1710–1771), master of the shakuhachi flute and founder of the Kinko-ryu school, Song of the Samurai takes the listener on a richly textured exploration of feudal Japan and the complexities of the human spirit. This enhanced audiobook includes shakuhachi musical interludes performed by the author.
