I bounced hard off the book too, but I re-read it while I was sick some years back and all the "they're barbarians!!!" race fetishy stuff gets turned on its head pretty fast: the Europeans see the Japanese as weird horrible torturers, the Japanese see the Europeans as weird dirty invaders. A lot of learning goes on from the main POV European character in particular (who has to get over his prejudices and ignorance), and the Tokugawa Ieyasu stand-in is a truly fantastic character.

Wait, so is this a case of OP thinking, "the book depicts this, so it must endorse it?"
