Finally finished it. Gotta say, it was a bit of a chore. He's obviously an insanely talented writer but the style here was a bit difficult to get through. He explains it at the end of the book, seeing as how it's a historical fiction novel, he had to make a compromise between staying true to the period he writes about and being legible.
Other than that, I can't say I'm really that drawn to the Japanese culture, especially from 2 centuries ago. :\
