«Samurai» is the dramatic novel by Hisako Matsubara, published in 1983 by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (238 pages, in Spanish).
The wealthy samurai Hayato adopts Nagayuki, trains him in the traditions of his class, and marries him to his daughter Tomiko. As the country begins to industrialize, Hayato loses all his assets; his honor prevents him from reacting, and he sends Nagayuki to America with a sword and some kimonos, while the family falls into decline.

Will appeal to readers of historical fiction and drama, with a conflict between traditional Japan and modernity.
