Reception.
Forrest Johnson reviewed "Land of the Rising Sun" in "The Space Gamer" No. 36. Johnson commented that "LOTRS is a beautiful treasure in an unopenable package. Recommended to zealots, and as a source-book to D&D."
Eric Goldberg reviewed "Land of the Rising Sun" in "Ares Magazine" #7 and commented that ""Land of the Rising Sun" is an estimable addition to a FRP aficionado's library. Aside from being well-explained, it is necessary for those who want to fully understand "C&S". The care with which Japanese myth has been reproduced is simply amazing."
Lawrence Schick stated that the game is: "Difficult to play, but the sections describing the society, culture, and legendry of medieval Japan are quite detailed."
