R\u00e9sum\u00e9 :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au XVIIe si\u00e8cle, William Adams, un marin anglais, fait naufrage sur les c\u00f4tes du Japon. Il d\u00e9couvre un pays au bord de la guerre civile, divis\u00e9 par les luttes de pouvoir qui opposent le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Tokugawa aux quatre r\u00e9gents pour l’accession au titre de Shogun.
Pris au pi\u00e8ge dans cette contr\u00e9e o\u00f9 tout lui est \u00e9tranger, sa connaissance de la technologie maritime et des armes fait rapidement de lui l’instrument de ce conflit.
Alors que les r\u00e9gents et les j\u00e9suites, hostiles \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence d’un protestant dans le pays, r\u00e9clament sa mort, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Tokugawa lui sauve la vie.
Le destin de ces deux hommes va alors se sceller de mani\u00e8re indissociable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avis :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au fil des si\u00e8cles, sinon des mill\u00e9naires, on distingue de nombreux \u00e9v\u00e8nements clefs qui ont jalonn\u00e9 l\u2019histoire du Japon. Parmi ceux-ci figure un moment charni\u00e8re entre le XVIe et le XVIIe si\u00e8cle, o\u00f9 les dissensions intestines minent la politique du shogunat. Cela sans compter les tentatives d\u2019unification d\u2019un pays o\u00f9 la guerre civile gronde et une volont\u00e9 \u00e0 s\u2019extirper de l\u2019isolationnisme \u00e9difi\u00e9e par les pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents dirigeants. Cette p\u00e9riode marque aussi l\u2019arriv\u00e9e des premiers Europ\u00e9ens sur l\u2019archipel nippon, o\u00f9 commerce et religion constituent les principaux motifs de ces voyages \u00e0 l\u2019autre bout de la plan\u00e8te. L\u2019une des plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres histoires en la mati\u00e8re est celle de William Adams, consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le premier Britannique \u00e0 avoir foul\u00e9 les rivages du pays du soleil levant, \u00e0 l\u2019aune de l\u2019\u00e9poque d\u2019Edo.<\/p>\n\n\n

William Adams, samoura\u00ef<\/strong> est un diptyque qui \u00e9voque le parcours de ce personnage embl\u00e9matique. Celui-ci a inspir\u00e9 le roman culte de James Clavell<\/em> : Shogun<\/strong>. Cependant, les pr\u00e9sents ouvrages n\u2019en constituent pas une adaptation. \u00c9tant donn\u00e9 le format restreint de la bande dessin\u00e9e, l\u2019intrigue se resserre autour de son naufrage jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la bataille de Sekigahara. Sans pour autant se montrer synth\u00e9tique, on devine un r\u00e9cit qui va \u00e0 l\u2019essentiel. Les sc\u00e8nes poss\u00e8dent toutes un int\u00e9r\u00eat notable afin d\u2019\u00e9voquer la situation pr\u00e9caire du protagoniste, le contexte politique et les confrontations entre les diff\u00e9rentes forces opposantes. \u00c0 certains \u00e9gards, il est vrai que l\u2019histoire se r\u00e9v\u00e8le elliptique, o\u00f9 elle fait l\u2019\u00e9conomie d\u2019une \u00e9volution mesur\u00e9e et progressive des a priori sur la culture nipponne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En cela, le premier tome s\u2019axe sur la col\u00e8re et la frustration qui d\u00e9coule du naufrage. Exception faite de l\u2019apprentissage de la langue, il est ais\u00e9 d\u2019entrevoir un refus d\u2019int\u00e9gration de la part du principal int\u00e9ress\u00e9. Son statut d\u2019\u00e9tranger s\u2019exacerbe au contact de traditions et de comportements dont il n\u2019entend rien. Il se retrouve autant prisonnier de sa position que de son \u00e9tat d\u2019esprit, quitte \u00e0 se montrer ent\u00eat\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019extr\u00eame et inconscient dans ses d\u00e9cisions. Cette incursion marque donc une d\u00e9couverte gu\u00e8re hospitali\u00e8re. \u00c0 cela s\u2019ajoute la pr\u00e9sence de Portugais qui accentuent les tensions entre les catholiques et les protestants. Cette menace sous-jacente persiste tout au long de l\u2019intrigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La seconde partie du diptyque pr\u00e9sente une \u00e9volution sensible, dans le sens o\u00f9 le comportement de William Adams change. Ici, il ne s\u2019agit plus d\u2019une volont\u00e9 forc\u00e9e \u00e0 s\u2019adapter aux circonstances ou \u00e0 l\u2019environnement. Il \u00e9merge une sorte de fascination latente \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir les richesses du Japon. Celles-ci portent sur le patrimoine architectural, le mode de vie ou les consid\u00e9rations spirituelles. Ces derni\u00e8res concernent la pratique m\u00e9ditative du zazen, en corr\u00e9lation avec les pr\u00e9ceptes du bouddhisme zen. Les rapports s\u2019apaisent, tandis que la guerre se pr\u00e9pare. L\u00e0 encore, certains retournements peuvent para\u00eetre pr\u00e9cipit\u00e9s dans le parcours de William Adams. On songe \u00e0 ce refus ferme d\u2019initier les soldats au maniement des armes \u00e0 feu, puis \u00e0 son revirement pour prendre part au conflit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ses r\u00e9actions ne semblent pas invraisemblables, mais elles manquent de d\u00e9tails pour att\u00e9nuer le contraste entre le naufrag\u00e9 v\u00e9h\u00e9ment et l\u2019individu sensible au bushido. Si elles n\u2019occupent pas une place pr\u00e9pond\u00e9rante au sein des deux tomes, les s\u00e9quences d\u2019action restent bien men\u00e9es. Il s\u2019agit essentiellement de combats rapides, avec un nombre restreint d\u2019ennemis, o\u00f9 la ma\u00eetrise du sabre se confronte aux techniques occidentales, moins conventionnelles et raffin\u00e9es. Le cadre rapproch\u00e9 accentue la c\u00e9l\u00e9rit\u00e9 des mouvements et des coups port\u00e9s. Quant \u00e0 la bataille de Sekigahara, point d\u2019orgue de l\u2019intrigue, les planches traduisent sa d\u00e9mesure, sa violence et sa dimension strat\u00e9gique entre les diff\u00e9rentes factions en pr\u00e9sence.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Au final, William Adams, samoura\u00ef<\/em> constitue une incursion historique int\u00e9ressante, aux pr\u00e9mices de la p\u00e9riode d\u2019Edo. En l\u2019espace de deux tomes, les auteurs retracent le parcours tumultueux de leur protagoniste. Sur fond de chocs des cultures, le r\u00e9cit d\u00e9peint \u00e9galement le contexte politique de l\u2019\u00e9poque, en particulier les luttes intestines, les alliances et les oppositions qui se jouent dans les coulisses du pouvoir. Si certains \u00e9l\u00e9ments restent romanc\u00e9s ou fictifs, l\u2019ensemble fait montre de r\u00e9alisme et d\u2019une rigueur \u00e9vidente pour retranscrire cette p\u00e9riode charni\u00e8re du Japon. Une telle intrigue pr\u00e9sente une densit\u00e9 notable. Aussi, il est difficile de ne pas faire l\u2019impasse sur le caract\u00e8re elliptique de sa progression et sa bri\u00e8vet\u00e9, m\u00eame si l\u2019on exc\u00e8de la centaine de planches pour les deux ouvrages r\u00e9unis. Il n\u2019en demeure pas moins un diptyque ma\u00eetris\u00e9 et recommandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
