Samurai History Journal

Here is something that people here might be interested in:

Ridgeback Press is pleased to announce the publication of a new
innovative quarterly -- Samurai History Journal (available in both
electronic and printed editions). Samurai History Journal, edited by
Romulus Hillsborough, is the only magazine in English focusing on the
history and culture of the great men of the Meiji Restoration (1853-
1868: the last fifteen years of the samurai era).

The Meiji Restoration has often been neglected and/or misrepresented
by writers of the English language. When this history has been
represented seriously and accurately, it has generally been in a dry
academic format. Through articles and essays by distinguished history
writers and novelists in Japan, it is the purpose of Samurai History
Journal to present this most fascinating period in Japanese history,
and the humanity of the men who made this history, accurately and
realistically, in a vivid literary format which will at once educate
and entertain.

More information about Samurai History Journal is available at
www.ridgebackpress.com.

I wonder what it would take to start up a magazine like this that would
cover the whole history of the Samurai.

If you are listening Tony, I know you have had some experience in this
field, any suggestions?

It's an awesome idea, and timing is perfect.
I'd really love to be involved. I know many graduate students in the
field, and a bunch of professors, including Varley, Friday, Hurst and
Farris. Uh, and I know a bit Bryant too :oP
If it's a serious project, they might be interested, perhaps.

No, but an idea we've had in the past. Free time is the main
constraint on that sort of thing....

Well, I suppose doing issue #1 would be quite easy, because of the
enthusiasm; then #2 gets a bit harder; and #3... mmmhhhh... sorry I'm
busy at home recently; #4.... awww I study Chinese history now... :o)
