LordAmeth (紫水晶殿) is a bit obsessed with Japan, and increasingly with the wider region of East/SE Asia. He finds interest in just about every period or aspect of Japanese history, from the earliest ancient clan conflicts, through the Heian period and the Genpei Wars, the complexities of clan histories and regional histories of the Sengoku period, and into the vivid cultural, political, and economic history of the Edo period, the cultural changes of the Meiji period, and the cultural issues facing Japan today. There is a special place in his heart for Okinawa, though he has yet to visit there.
