Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - I did not save her life.I saved her name.And that was the greater victory.In the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate, Japan is breaking apart. Power shifts, alliances fracture, and Aizu stands under siege as the old world struggles to survive the new.This is not a story of generals or banners.This is a story told in two breaths.One belongs to Nakano Takeko - the woman who steps forward, who trains, who chooses, who leads.The other belongs to her sister, Y¿ko - the one who remains, who remembers, who carries what history leaves behind.Between them, a life is not only lived - but preserved.See Then Stand moves through the space between action and memory, between the moment a choice is made and the long weight of what follows. It traces the formation of the women later called the J¿shitai - not as legend, but as individuals shaped by discipline, fear, and the refusal to remain unseen.There are no grand speeches here. No polished heroics.Only choices.Told in a restrained, deeply immersive voice, this novel strips away romanticised history and replaces it with something closer, more human. Courage is not spectacle - it is repetition. Fear is not weakness - it is managed. And honor is not spoken - it is carried.This is a story about memory.About what survives when names begin to fade.And about the quiet act of standing - when standing is all that remains.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Daughters of Wars: Steel and VengeanceA Daughters of Wars Novel - Book OneJapan, 1867.The Shogunate is splintering. The Emperor rises. The old ways are bleeding out-and with them, everything once sacred.Far from the capital, in the shadow of a forgotten lake, lies Kasumigaura, a village where the world still breathes in sword strokes and silence. It's here the Hayashi sisters are raised-not as ornaments, but as weapons. Trained in war. Schooled in honor. Bound in blood.Sumiko, the eldest, speaks only with her eyes and her blade.Misako, the middle, burns with unyielding fire.Aiko, the youngest, walks softly but never blindly. Every step is deliberate. Every arrow, a decision.Their father, once a retainer of Aizu, turned his back on politics to raise them in peace. But history doesn't care about peace-and neither does war. When men in imperial uniforms arrive under false pretenses, steel unsheathes. By morning, Kasumigaura burns. And Aiko is gone.What follows is the breaking of everything they believed in.A search becomes a reckoning.Honor turns to vengeance.And the sisters-once daughters of a hidden samurai-are forced to choose between what they were taught and what must now be done.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The J¿shitai: Unsung Heroines of the Boshin War - Expanded EditionBy Sumiko NakanoThey weren't supposed to exist. Not officially. Not in the histories written by men with ink and authority. But when the Tokugawa order crumbled and war came to Aizu, the women of the J¿shitai didn't wait for permission. They armed themselves with naginata, short swords, and resolve-and stepped into the fire.This newly updated edition of The J¿shitai is more than a tribute. It's a reclamation. An excavation of names, faces, and legacies that history tried to erase. Based on deeper research, expanded profiles, and newly crafted visual representations of the sixteen known women, this book brings the unsilenced voices of Aizu's warrior women into full presence.Led by Nakano Takeko-whose death at Yanagi Bridge became legend-the J¿shitai was an all-female combat unit formed during the Boshin War of 1868. But beyond Takeko stood her sister Y¿ko, the calm but deadly Hirata Koch¿, the fiery Yoshi, the precise Jinbo Yukiko, the watchful strategist Okamura Makiko, the ink-stained blade Koike Chikyoku, and others whose stories remained buried in temple records, family altars, or simply silence.They weren't figureheads. They weren't mascots. They fought. And many of them fell.Set against the brutal backdrop of the siege of Aizu and the slow political erasure that followed, The J¿shitai challenges sanitized Meiji-era mythmaking and instead restores these women as they were: real, complex, and dangerous. Some were trained samurai. Others were mothers, daughters, concubines, even farmers-who picked up weapons when the men around them lay dead.This book also includes a new postwar reflection on how Aizu paid the price for loyalty, how the women were written out of the restoration narrative, and why telling their story today still matters. For the first time, the known members of the J¿shitai are presented together-not as legends, but as witnesses. With newly generated portraits built from historical context, they are given back not only names but faces.If you're looking for glorified folklore, this isn't it.But if you want a field report from the shadows of history, written with reverence, rage, and resolve-The J¿shitai is waiting.Learn their names. Carry them forward.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Edo, 1868. The empire is bleeding. So are the lies.After killing a man they weren't supposed to and fleeing the political firestorm in Aizu, the Hayashi sisters arrive in Edo under cover of silence. But the capital is no sanctuary. It's a city dressed in ceremony, rotting underneath. Foreigners haunt the docks. Spies poison the palaces. And everyone smiles as they sharpen their blades.Sumiko, Misako, and Aiko didn't come to play diplomat. They came to uncover the truth behind their father's death-and drag it, kicking and screaming, into the light. But truth has a price in Edo. And someone's already decided the sisters are worth more dead than dangerous.They carry no clan banner. No daimyo protects them. What they have are each other, a few blades, and the memory of the man whose murder was rewritten as sacrifice. Every answer leads deeper into the rot-into crumbling mansions, forbidden letters, foreign whispers, and betrayals old enough to wear new faces.Edo stands between two worlds: one foot in feudal tradition, the other drowning in politics and guns. Honor is just a word people use when they want you to die quietly. And for women-especially armed ones-there's no safe ground. Only expectations to break.This is not a war of nations. It's a war of ghosts. Of legacies. Of sisters who refuse to kneel.The world is burning-and these women came with oil. For readers aged 14 and up - no upper limit.Some stories aren't bound by numbers. They're forged in silence, scars, and the will to endure. This item is printed on demand.
