 PROLOGUE 

"The gale tore at him and he felt its bite deep within and he knew that if they did not make landfall in three days they would all be dead.Too many deaths on this voyage, he thought, I'm Pilot-Major of a dead fleet.One ship left out of five, eight and twenty men from a crew of one hundred and seven and now only ten can walk and the rest near death and our Captain-General one of them.No food, almost no water and what there is, brackish and foul. "~~~JAMES CLAVELL: Shogun

 Kanji that makes up the word shogun

征夷大将軍, 
  Shogun is the short form of Sei-i Taishōgun ("Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force Against the Barbarians")

Shogun is one of those rare books that you wish would go on forever. Indeed, I know people who re-read it every year. The story follows the adventures of marooned English sailor John Blackthorne in late medieval Japan during the tumultuous years when Tokugawa Ieyasu (here called Toranaga) was uniting all of Japan under his rule by any means necessary.It's truly an epic tale of war, honor, trechery, masterful manipulations, tragic heroism, and star-crossed love

 Oriental Art

"Shakespeare's dramatic genius is especially to be noted in the art with which he manages his beginnings. The first scene of Macbeth strikes the keynote of the play. The desert place, the wild storm, the appearance of the witches, "the wayward rhythm" of their songs, all help to prepare us for a drama in which a human soul succumbs to the supernatural suggestions of evil and ranges itself along with the witches on the devil's side.

Sir Thomas Lawrence (British, Bristol 1769–1830 London)

 The Irish actress Elizabeth Farren made her London debut in 1777 as Kate Hardcastle in Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer. She was at the height of her career when this canvas was shown at the Royal Academy in 1790. Seven years later, she married the twelfth earl of Derby. This beautiful portrait helped to secure for Lawrence the role of successor to the elderly Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792). 

Don’t Get on the Wrong Side of This New Tarantula

Scientists had previously identified six types of urticating hairs on tarantulas. Kankuamo marquezi adds a seventh. Its hairs are the second example of a defensive hair that is released on contact, while most are projected when a tarantula flicks its legs against its rear, sending a flurry of barbs into the air.He and his colleagues found the new arachnid while exploring the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range in Colombia. They described it in a paper published Wednesday in the journal ZooKeys.
