Requests:  0 Summary:  When Yasuke arrived in Japan in the late 1500s, he had already traveled much of the known world. Kidnapped as a child, and trained into a boy soldier in India, he had ended up an indentured servant and bodyguard to the head of the Jesuits in Asia, with whom he visited India, China and the budding Catholic missions in Japan. From the volatile port city of Nagasaki to travel on pirate-infested waters, he lived it all and learned more every day. His arrival in Kyoto, however, literally caused a riot. Most Japanese people had never seen an African man before, and many of them viewed him as the embodiment of the black-skinned (in local traditions) Buddha or a local war god or demon. Among those who were drawn to his presence were Lord Nobunaga, head of the most powerful clan in Japan, who made Yasuke a samurai in his court. Soon, he was learning the traditions of Japan's martial arts, fighting in battles and ascending to the upper echelons of Japanese society.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Kihei Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD Lockley Audiobook Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD Lo   Damaged Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library CD -- Compact Disc CD Lockley audiobk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library CD -- Compact Disc CD 952.02409 Audiobook Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library CD -- Compact Disc CD 952.02409 Lockley   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
