{"product_id":"the-gangster-and-the-samurai","title":"The Gangster and the Samurai","description":"Fate is a fickle thing, fortune a double edged sword.\"Being born into wealth and privilege may be the dream of most, but a fat, friendless child with no company but his books will find that money brings no real comfort.I was such a child and came quickly to the conclusion that to endure the mundane is not compulsory when one can retreat to one's thoughts and live the life of a samurai.I chose my own path. An existence of honour and adventure which I shared with my beloved fellow warrior, Hyung.Even I, at times, thought him to be a figment of my imagination, so when he appeared as a flesh and blood man in the offices of the Yakuza organisation, the Tatakai-gumi, my world was turned upside down.\"Kanno Sakamoto is a renaissance man. Homosexual, archer, swordsman, gardener, chef, pianist, gangster and fantasist - here he tells his own story.A dark, often humorous and sometimes challenging tale of love, lust and murder which is not for the faint of heart.","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62083965878642,"sku":"BS-R4W-342813","price":11.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/2972\/2226\/files\/9781495342813-HD.jpg?v=1784477431","url":"https:\/\/www.novelpanel.com\/products\/the-gangster-and-the-samurai","provider":"Novel Panel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
