the quote certainly sounds familiar and i think that it might be in either the ed eldar book or possibly in the codex imperialis book from the ed game set i don't have access to those right this moment but i'll check them when i get back home i think that the relation between the eldar and japan is more tenuous then between the eldar and tolkien though there are some very clear parallels between elves and eldar right down to some of the naming used unfortunately i don't know much about feudal japan so i'm going to spend a bit of time brushing up on that and see what parallels exist est may
