I'm building a setting...
Actually, I'm in the middle of publishing a feudal Japan/Asian Horror setting called - Kaidan: a Japanese Ghost Story setting. If anything, it is kind of set before the Sengoku Period, in fact, more like the dying days of the Heian period is when the setting starts, April 25, 1185 (though its not really an historically placed setting, nor is it in Japan.)
There's an emphasis on kami (the gods), yurei (ghosts/undead), and yokai (shape-changers of which there are many, many varieties.)
I did publish the first adventure "The Gift" in October 2009, but it is currently being rewritten, and done as a patronage project at Rite Publishing, probably should expect a re-release some time in the fall of this year. There are two other adventures that follow. Also in the works is the setting handbook, so though it has my take on Samurai, Ninja, etc - I've got a reincarnation system setup, a different take on Buddhist/Shinto type religion, lots of flavor stuff that is quintessentially Japanese, yet hasn't really shown itself in other D&D versions of the orient.
I am half Japanese, with a lifelong study of all that is Japanese and I've never been satisfied with OA, Karatur - I'm not a fan of Rokugan by any stretch of the imagination. L5R is a decent political game, but its primarily the Samurai caste only. My game is primarily the undercastes, with possible reincarnation to Samurai. Samurai aren't the center of the game - the people are, society beyond the Samurai sword.
But as I said, its currently under reconstruction...
