HYOUGEMONO Manga - Saturday 01 December 2012
Released: 2005
Author & Artist: Yamada Yoshihiro
Genre(s): Historical, Seinen
It was the Sengoku-era, when the warlords usurped each
other. There was a man whose soul was overtaken by the
ways of tea and material greed, as he worked his
way up toward greater power and status. His name was
Sasuke Furuta, a subordinate warrior of Nobunaga Oda.
With his world broadened by Nobunaga the Genius, and
his spiritual insight learned from Senno Soueki,
the Master of Tea, Sasuke drove road to Hyougemono.
To live or not to live. For the power of the art.
Only the first 6 chapter were then
available in scanalation.
Hi readers and posters,
Well Hyougemono is up to 57 chapters.
It is a story about a nobleman or noble samurai back
at the end of the Warring States period when Nobunaga
and Hideyoshi were re-unifing the Japanese nation and
Ieyasu Tokogawa was waiting for his moment.
Now this man became obsessed with the Art
of Tea and the prized tea implements of the past.
There are historical characters rendered in detail
including Hideyoshi and the great Tea Master Rikyu.
I find it amusing and interesting.
