寸法武者 (八切意外史 5)
Zunpo Musha is an award-winning historical fiction work by Tomeo Yagiri. It approaches figures such as Torii Suneemon of the Battle of Nagashino through Yagiri's distinctive historical imagination, focusing on the hidden sides of warriors.
Work Information

National Diet Library Search confirms early Kodansha editions and the later Sakuhinsha Yagiri Igaishi edition. Because the Sakuhinsha volume includes Zunpo Musha and has an ISBN, that reprint edition is used for the bibliographic identifiers.

あんまり意外でない、リアルな戦国描写
命がけなら何でもできる、といったパターンが見えるが、人格者でも英雄でもないリアルな個人の姿が描かれていた。方言が多用され、したたかに生きる百姓の強い精神がかいま見えた。
