Love and Honour
The conclusion to Yoji Yamada's loose Samurai trilogy (following 'Twilight Samurai' and 'Hidden Blade'), focussing on the themes of the title, and a marriage in which the balance is lost. Shinnojo is a lowly food taster for his clan who has grander dreams, but these are cut short when he is blinded in the course of his job. His loss of confidence slowly poisons his relationship with his wife in this delicate study of a wounded man that has won acclaim in Japan and abroad.
