I provide a professional advisory and consultancy service on all aspects of Japanese culture, but I am best known for my books about samurai, martial arts and the military history of Europe and the Far East.

My latest book is a book for children about samurai. It is called Real Samurai.

My fiftieth book: The Samurai and the Sacred. is now published, as is my fifty-first The Great Wall of China. I have two other books out already: The Art of Renaissance Warfare and Osaka 1615

All these superb slides shown here are available for hire through my picture library 'Japan Archive', which contains 8,000 pictures of Japan and Medieval Europe, and is now completely digitalised. Please do not hesitate to e-mail me directly at:

I will be pleased to discuss giving a talk, a loan of pictures, or any other project. Consultancy work for television and films can usually be arranged at very short notice.
