==Description==
 
Morris is known as a Heian scholar (''The World of the Shining Prince'' and a translation of Sei Shônagon's ''Pillow Book''), but this book deals with a very different world from that of the ''Genji Monogatari''. This book deals with the facination of Japanese with heroes who died for failed causes. After a brief introduction, Morris has chapters dealing with 10 people, or groups of people: [[Yamato Takeru]], [[Yorozu]] (6th. cent), [[Arima no Miko]], [[Sugawara Michizane]], [[Minamoto Yoshitsune]], [[Kusunoki Masashige]], [[Amakusa Shiro|Amakusa Shirô]], [[Oshio Heihachiro|Ôhachi Heihachirô]], [[Saigo Takamori|Saigô Takamori]], and the Kamikaze fighters.
