I was referring to the book and the mini-series, but I remembered part of the book more than others (especially Blackthorne's conversion to Japan's standards of personal hygiene). I agree a/the key thing is that the book has an amazing amount of detail and interest in the period. Thanks for the context, everyone!

The mini-series does make a brief, significant change to the book's ending with a lot of implications for characterization and theme, and I wonder which way this production will go.
