Gai-Jin (Japanese 外人, "Foreigner") is a 1993 novel by James Clavell, chronologically the third book in his Asian Saga, although it was the last to be published. It chronicles the adventures of Malcolm Struan (the son of Culum and Tess Struan) in Japan. The story goes into depth on the political situation in Japan and the hostility the Westerners faced in Japan, and is loosely based on the Namamugi Incident and the subsequent Anglo-Satsuma War.
