Bemerkung:

Einband leicht berieben. - Few families have played as long and important a role in Japanese history as the house of Hosokawa. Since it was founded more than six hundred years ago, this family's leaders have taken two paths to prominence: in distinguished service to the governments of their time, and in the great traditions of Japanese art and scholarship. The Hosokawas were mirrors of what Japan understood to be chivalry: warrior-poets, tea masters, trusted councillors, stout fighters-and visionary thinkers. ISBN 1560982098
