The book also includes the tale of Yasuke. He was an African slave who was sold into slavery in the 16th century, moved to Japan and became a high ranking samurai. Other stories include : Waves from the South and Aappu and the Deformed Child which showcase historical Sri-Lanka and spiritual Hinduism.
