Volume 1 is missing from the complete set of 16 volumes. Volumes 1 through 10 show age-related yellowing. Volumes 11 and later show slight yellowing. There is some soiling on the corners of the pages, likely from removing the books from a bookshelf, but overall, the condition is good. I have taken photos to show the condition of the books as clearly as possible, so please take a look. Please understand that these are used books before considering a purchase. I do not plan to sell individual volumes. "Socho Heike Monogatari" by Osamu Hashimoto This is a story of men possessed by the illusion of "glory." The story does not begin with Taira no Kiyomori, but with the Fujiwara clan, who created the prototype of that glory, and further back to the biographies of rebellious retainers in China, which Japan took as a model. Zhao Gao of Qin, Wang Mang of Han, Zhu Yi of Liang, and An Lushan of Tang. Were they truly rebellious retainers? And in our eternal imperial dynasty, are there truly any rebellious retainers? 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
