Bokkō (novel)
1991 Japanese historical fiction novel
Bokkō (墨攻, lit. 'Mohist Attack') is a Japanese historical fiction novel written by Ken'ichi Sakemi, published in 1991.[1] It was nominated for the 104th Naoki Prize and won the Atsushi Nakajima Memorial Prize for the 50th anniversary of his death in 1992.[2]
A manga adaptation was serialized from 1992 to 1996, and a film premiered in 2006.[1][3] Studio Ghibli considered an anime film with Mamoru Oshii as director around 1991, and animator Katsuya Kondō also created imageboards, but the plan was abandoned midway through due to a dispute between Oshii and Hayao Miyazaki.[4][5]
