THE KABUKI BOOK

Set against the closing years of the Sengoku period, the brutal unification of Japan, and the dawn of the oppressive Tokugawa Shogunate, THE KABUKI BOOK weaves narratives of art, craftmanship, and mythology.

“A god-touched woman, a rogue duellist, spirits and restless gods.”

THE KABUKI BOOK is a subversive historical fantasy where a wayward fox-spirit invents the provocative, gender-bending new art form. This act of creation sets her on a collision course with the nascent Tokugawa shogunate regime. The gods are restless. What sides will the local deities take?
