Set in feudal Japan, Shōgun charts the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious female samurai: John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga, a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.
 
"female samurai" :-/
 
The original series was excellent, I bought it fairly recently on bluray and very much enjoyed it.

I liked how the Japanese wasn't subtitled and, like Blackthorne, you were mystified to begin with and had to learn along the way, to keep the plot going there was sometimes someone there to translate for him. The book was the same.
