About the author

Ryōtarō Shiba (司馬 遼太郎) born Teiichi Fukuda (福田 定一 Fukuda Teiichi, August 7, 1923 – February 12, 1996) in Osaka, Japan, was a Japanese author best known for his novels about historical events in Japan and on the Northeast Asian sub-continent, as well as his historical and cultural essays pertaining to Japan and its relationship to the rest of the world.

Shiba studied Mongolian at the Osaka School of Foreign Languages (now the School of Foreign Studies at Osaka University) and began his career as a journalist with the Sankei Shimbun, one of Japan's major newspapers. After World War II Shiba began writing historical novels. The magazine Shukan Asahi printed Shiba's articles about his travels within Japan in a series that ran for 1,146 installments. Shiba received the Naoki Prize for the 1959 novel Fukuro no Shiro ("The Castle of an Owl"). In 1993 Shiba received the Government's Order of Cultural Merit. Shiba was a prolific author who frequently wrote about the dramatic change Japan went through during the late Edo and early Meiji periods. His most monumental works include Kunitori Monogatari (国盗り物語), Ryoma ga Yuku (竜馬がゆく; see below), Moeyo Ken, and Saka no ue no kumo (坂の上の雲), all of which have spawned dramatizations, most notably Taiga dramas aired in hour-long segments over a full year on NHK television. He also wrote numerous essays that were published in collections, one of which—Kaidō wo Yuku—is a multi-volume journal-like work covering his travels across Japan and around the world. Shiba is widely appreciated for the originality of his analyses of historical events, and many people in Japan have read at least one of his works.

Several of Shiba's works have been translated into English, including his fictionalized biographies of Kukai (Kukai the Universal: Scenes from His Life, 2003) and Tokugawa Yoshinobu (The Last Shogun: The Life of Tokugawa Yoshinobu, 2004), as well as The Tatar Whirlwind: A Novel of Seventeenth-Century East Asia (2007).

Reviews

[Rikuya Osawa · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars -- This non-fiction novel is incredibly captivating. Moeyo Ken (燃えよ剣) is a novel by Japanese author Ryōtarō Shiba. It dramatizes the life of Hijikata Toshizō, a member of the Shinsengumi, a small elite group of swordsmen that was organized by commoners and low rank samurai, active in Japan during the bakumatsu, the final years of the Edo period when the Tokugawa shogunate ended. Between 1853 and 1867.

日本史を学ぶ本として好きだったけど、小説としては何か物足りない。まだ下巻を読まなきゃいけないけど

[Koji Iwata · Rating 4 out of 5]

実家のそばで起こったことがたくさんあり身近な所が出てきたので面白かったです。ただこのキャラクターはあまり物を考えず人を切る事しか考えていなかったのであまり関心は出来ませんでした。
This story took place in my hometown, so it was interesting to read about the things happened long time ago at the familiar locations. I did not like the main character too much. Writing was good.

I have the same birthday as Hijikta so we're obviously soulmates
