    Well, if you are looking for something academic or historical, precisely, James Clavell Shogun is always a fun option. There is as well an outstanding book through Perry Anderson on feudalism and totalitarianism (Lineages of the Absolutist State), who has a superior historical study of Japan - however does not specifically focus Sengoku Jidai. If you are as well concerned within the European Middle Ages, I advocate the feudal society of Marc Bloch. Within the last capital is to compare the European feudal system through the Japanese. Of course, this book is not modern research and there possibly will be a number of misunderstandings or misinterpretations of the history of Japan, however still worth reading.

    Re: Sengoku Game: need good book about Sengoku Jidai

    There are bunches of books centered on the Sengoku in Japanese. Sengoku Chronik is my most preferred generally useful cause, giving itemized year by year depictions of what was going in from 1454-1615. Loads of maps, graphs, photographs, antiquities, and whatnot. In English, however, you're all right-there quite isn't a reliable all inclusive work that centers on the period. All the more the ubiquitous Stephen Turnbull hasn't agitated out a book that centers on the time. As respects Bloch, his was a fascinating work for its day and still advantageous for historiography purposes. Virtually all antiquarians now concur that Japan was not a feudal social order anyhow as how the thought is fathomed in the West).

    Re: Sengoku Game: need good book about Sengoku Jidai

    I'm inquisitive to know the contentions from these antiquarians about how Japan wasn't a feudal public order. Most retainers kept grounds as fiefs by the will of their superiors, in trade of utility, pay, and supporting troops, and were kept by promise, obligation, or respect to serve his Lord until the very end. It is the heart definition of feodality, from which the entire feudalism framework starts. It's fixated on the signal of the hommage, which ties the overlord to his vassal, by the solemn pledge to serve and being tied in aid to a ruler. The just divergence I see in Japan is that retainers didn't need to build a solemn promise about it, as aid was the center definition of being a samurai in the ahead of all comers.

    It impressively needs to do with the legalities of terrain proprietorship, the taxation structure, the Bakuhan framework (this just in the Edo period), the varying strategies of mediation, and the special connection amidst the Imperial Court and the Bakufu in its diverse seasons (Minamoto, Kujo/Imperial Princes/Hojo, Ashikaga, Tokugawa).

    I think the folks accepting the ongoing see of the history (specifically before WWII or ca. -1970) underlined the likenesses of the social frameworks betwixt Europe and Japan. For the aforementioned folks, Japan should have the feudalism in the European style, following if Japan has it, the state can modernize as the European and American nations did when the time of the feudalism. However cutting edge Historians are unhindered from this view however they concur that examining the western and eastern social frameworks is particularly imperative for the historiography.

    A great book that is a small overall but one that I found convenient is The Samurai sourcebook by Stephen Turnbull. As with all sourcebooks it has some data with a really conventional segment on the groups and the guides of the period.
