According to Google Translate, the product description translates (in typical garbled Google translate form) as:

"Was active in the early Showa era "outlaw faction" novel writer is a representative of Angola Sakaguchi. First appearance is "Asahi Weekly Supplement" [1954 (1954) years]. God's divine law flow law living in the mountains founder 楳本 Gunma pupil with a sword, academics, excellent medical exalted character. The two dogs looked houseman slope leads to a dojo in Edo people, how they were taken over the flow God of Miyamoto Musashi, it looks at first glance cowards. Historical novel dealing critically formalized the existing Constitution."

Looked up "Ango Sakaguchi" on Wiki and the Japanese characters match the author name here. I can't actually run the translator on the title or author because the cover's an image and I can't copy the type. So don't know the title. Apparently some of his stuff is being picked up by Anime producers, which might be why this was in the top 100?

Good job. I've been too lazy and too behind on my GR book challenge to diddle on Google searches.

I'd like to change my guess to Shogun.
