History for Kids - Samurai & Japan

Step into feudal Japan with samurai and ninja

Samurai. Ninja. Castles. Dragons. Calligraphy. Tea ceremonies. If your child has ever been fascinated by Japan — and most kids have — History for Kids - Samurais & Japan is a deep, beautifully illustrated way in. Nine sections carry families from the warrior culture of the samurai to the quiet mastery of a tea master; from ninja legends to myths of dragons and forest spirits.

Your child will learn what the samurai code of honour (bushido) really meant, what a samurai actually wore and why, why a Japanese castle is shaped the way it is, how ninja stealth techniques worked (as far as anyone actually knows — a lot of it is cheerful speculation), and what it’s like to sit through a proper tea ceremony. They’ll discover origami, calligraphy, woodblock printing, sushi, festivals and the stories behind kabuki.

Every page has a voice

Each section comes with illustrations and audio narration in seven languages, so pre-readers just listen. Every guide closes with a “Did you know?” curiosity card — the best way to give a child a fact they’ll tell their friends the next day.
