Fics like Onnogata (by BaileyMoyes on LJ)

This is an Eastern as opposed to a Western. The year is 1729, but Japan is still a feudal society much like medieval Europe. Minor kings called shoguns rule from their palaces with their personal armies. Society is tiered in rigid castes with myriad strictures defining acceptable behavior. It is a culture of contrasts best exemplified by the samurai who are sensitive poets as well as fierce warriors. In 1629 the ruling shogunate banned women from performing on the stage leading to the rise of the onnagata, men that portrayed female characters. Into this world comes a Westerner, a Dane who crafts weapons as his calling, seeking knowledge to further his art.
