The Curse of Koshiu: A Chronicle of Old Japan is a historical novel written by Lewis Wingfield and first published in 1888. The story is set in feudal Japan and revolves around the curse of the Koshiu clan, a powerful family that ruled over the province of Koshiu. The curse is said to bring death and destruction to anyone who tries to harm the clan or its members.The novel follows the life of a young samurai named Hachisuka Gorobei, who is sent to Koshiu province as a punishment for his misdeeds. There, he becomes embroiled in the politics and intrigue of the Koshiu clan and its enemies, including the powerful Ii clan.As Gorobei tries to unravel the mystery of the curse and protect the Koshiu clan from its enemies, he finds himself drawn to the beautiful and enigmatic Lady O'Yoshi, the daughter of the Koshiu daimyo. But their love is forbidden, and Gorobei must navigate the treacherous waters of feudal politics and honor to stay true to his heart.The Curse of Koshiu is a thrilling tale of love, honor, and revenge, set against the backdrop of feudal Japan. Wingfield's vivid descriptions of the customs, traditions, and landscapes of old Japan transport the reader to a bygone era, while his engaging characters and fast-paced plot keep the pages turning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
