From: lah%ucbmiro@Berkeley (First Lieutenant Leigh Ann Hussey) Theo, if you want to read some good Japanese-based Fantasy, read the Tomoe Gozen saga by Jessica Amanda Salmonson. Alternate Japan (Naipon) in which the various Shinto deities and other entities are alive and active. Good swordplay (accurate Japanese styles!), and as if that weren't enough, a woman samurai protagonist. Good stuff. Nice interior art, too. Titles: (not necessarily in order -- haven't read them in a while) Tomoe Gozen The Golden Naginata The Thousand Shrine Warrior Leigh Ann ("Iai-do is a Way of Life!")
