I loved The Samurai's Garden. And Notes on a Scandal is a good one too. I'd suggest reading it before seeing the movie if you haven't already.
Just found your great blog, via a Google alert. I like your style! Wanted to mention a great book to you - Discovering Your Inner Samurai: The Entrepreneurial Woman's Journey to Business Success by Dr. Susan Reid. She has good insight - check out her blog, http://susanreid.typepad.com [in full disclosure: I am the publisher of this book.]
