Rachel Kondo & Justin Marks spent six years turning #JamesClavell's novel #Shogun into the award-winning TV series; I do appreciate their hard work & #Shogun brings medieval #Japan to life visually but I can't say I was bowled over by the drama itself...

I read Jamesclavell's SHOGUN over 30 years, and I still haven't been able to get it out of my head. A sweeping classic about medieval Japan with Samurai et al. Explains Japanese culture in many ways.

The TV adaptation is already being rated as one of the greatest ever
