Looking for good Samurai Novels

[Jadjuka]

Hallo! I've been looking around but haven't found any luck with finding good novels on samurai in feudal Japan. I'm looking for historical fiction mostly but I'm open to novels that might have fantasy. Any help would be grately appreciated!

If by some chance you've never read Shogun, it's fabulous. The TV mini-series was good, but the book is truly a modern classic, IMO.

I haven't read Shogun but the miniseries was fantastic. 

This series looks pretty interesting:

Shinju  

 I've only purchase this one from the series, but haven't read it yet::

The Samurai's Wife (Sano Ichiro Series #5)

You can also try Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn. It's not really Samurai novel, and does have some fantasy elements, I did enjoy it.

Across the Nightingale Floor (Tales of the Otori Series #1)

Not strictly a Samurai novel, but it is certainly full of katana and the ideal of bushido.
