[net.sf-lovers] Japanese swords and sorcery

RNeal@HIS-PHOENIX-MULTICS.ARPA (06/14/84)

I would like to request from the users of this meeting a list of books
and authors.  What I am looking for are sword and sorcery novels set in
the orient (Samurai, dragons, demons, etc.).  The only one I currently
know of is RAJAN, by Tim Lukeman.  Any help would be appreciated.  Don't
let this one stump you like my previous request for stories about what
robots do on their day off.........

Just about everything WRITTEN by Jessica Amanda Salmonson is
Japanese S&S.  

The Tomoe Gozen Saga:    [edit comment:  pretty good stuff, gets]
  currently including:   [better as it goes along               ]
   Tomoe Gozen
   The Golden Naginata
   The Thousand Shrine Warrior 

Swordwoman (or is it Swordswoman?) [edit comment: not as good as TG]

There are also some Japanese and Oriental S&S stories in the Amazons
books that JAS has edited.  Most notably "The Woman Who Loved the Moon"
by Elizabeth Lynn.
