The life of daimyo Uesugi Kenshin commanded authority and fear during
the Sengoku period of Japanese history. In this retelling, the powerful
lord is reimagined as a woman.

1) the author - have liked nearly all of her work. I haven't
seen all of it.

2) the subject. I have seen the NHK Taiga drama "Furin Kazan"
related to this character and many features of the story accord with
the manga author's somewhat understated premise. Kenshin acted during
life more like a lady than a man. Never married or took concubines so
no direct heirs. In the drama this is seen as Buddhist devotion but
Buddhism never demanded celibacy from the devout.

After the Tokugawa rose to power the people of Kenshin's holding
were moved to other lands away from the mountainous lands they knew
and took up specialized agricultural pursuits which were quite
rewarding. Kenshin died before that happened.

So far chapter 1, about 20 panels, is largely explanatory of the
female Uesugi Kenshin thesis. A few personal notes from the author
during this explanation. Of course this is online in translation
otherwise I could not tell you these things.
