re: Currently reading Shogun by James Clavell

I'm really looking for any other books, fantasy, fiction, or non, involving samurai and perhaps the Edo period. I'm really open to anything if some can recommend something. I've been slamming Kurosawa films and youtube Docs to get my quick fix. I also read the first book in the Tales of the Otori series. Found it to be pretty disappointing and am not tempted to pick up the next one.
Excited to begin Shogun after my current read.

Clavell is underrated.
Just read that he wrote the screenplays for The Fly, The Great Escape and To Sir, With Love.
Back on point, are these books relatively historically accurate?
Example I am thinking of are W.E.B. Griffin books where the characters and their lives are fiction, but what is going on in the world is historically "accurate."
