Description
Who hasn’t dreamed of being a samurai?
In “The Danish Samurai”, we follow the Danish girl Regitze, who doesn’t just dream: as a child in Copenhagen in 1882, as a young woman in Yokohama in 1890, and as an adult back in Copenhagen in 1925, she is… the Danish Samurai. In the final chapter, Regitze fights a hundred yōkai monsters.
Regitze is a fictional character, but at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century, there was significant interest in Japan and samurai culture in Europe and the US. The comic and the afterword deals with this remarkable period.
