If the samurai had been outlawed, wouldn't instruction in their martial art also be outlawed? <BR/><BR/>As far as telescoping the protagonist's learning process, I didn't think about it at the time.

I really liked the setting, and the cultural information it provided, but I thought it telescoped the protagonist's learning process into far too short a time period. <BR/><BR/>I also thought that the school, as presented, would not have permitted the father to alter the son's schedule so radically. <BR/><BR/>But that being said, I really did enjoy the book.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629351080305230210noreply@blogger.com
