We can recommend a few swordsman and samurai novels.
As for swordsmanship novels, we can recommend Mr. Jin Yong's works, such as The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Eight Dragons, and The Smiling Proud Jianghu. These novels used Wuxia as the theme, telling the heroic stories of the heroes and the grudges of the Jianghu.
For Japanese samurai novels, there was a recommended work called " The Guards at Dusk." The theme of the novel was the Bushido spirit, which described the Japanese's forbearance, reticence, competitiveness, and sense of mission. The other recommended book was " I Was a Sword Hero in Ancient Japan." It told the story of a protagonist who traveled to ancient Japan. He became a sword hero in this era and fought against all kinds of powerful people and dignitaries.
In general, swordsman novels and samurai novels had their own characteristics and charms. The readers could choose the works that suited them according to their interests.
Tanjiro might use his sense of smell to detect hidden threats. Since his sense of smell is super - enhanced, he could sniff out any demons or traps in the way of saving Rengoku. For example, if there are demons disguised as allies, Tanjiro would be able to tell by their scent.
Well, 'Godzilla vs Hedorah' is a classic in Japanese science fiction. Godzilla is a well - known giant monster, and Hedorah is also a unique and menacing foe. Their battles are often visually spectacular, with Godzilla using his brute force and atomic breath against Hedorah's more otherworldly attacks. This movie reflects the common themes in Japanese science fiction of the time, like the fear of environmental pollution which Hedorah can be seen as a symbol of in some ways.
I recommend the novel Unsheathed Sword: Peace War, I Lead a Team to Help. It was a military-war-themed novel. The main character, Xu Rui, was a retired special forces soldier who transmigrated to the world of the sword and possessed Xu Rui, who had the same name and surname. During the war in Pingan County, Li Yunlong, an independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, led his troops to besiege the Yamamoto Special Agent Team hiding in Pingan County. Xu Rui led a group of people to help and assisted Li Yunlong in rescuing Xiuqin. A series of exciting adventures took place. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
In some traditional Japanese folktales, there are stories of farmers dealing with floods or droughts. The farmers, who are mostly men, have to use their wits and hard work to overcome these natural disasters. They pray to the gods of nature, but also take practical actions like building irrigation systems or flood barriers. This shows the complex relationship between Japanese men and nature in the context of literature.
One well - known story is about the fishermen in Japan. They brave the rough seas every day. The sea can be extremely unforgiving, with huge waves and unpredictable weather. But these Japanese men keep going out to fish to support their families. They have a deep respect for the sea while also having to battle its might.
