Preferably written by someone who is well versed in Japanese culture and may have some knowledge as to how the samurai actually lived back then.

This is a fictionalized account of a real Japanese samurai. Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. Note that it is very long.
I haven't read it, but this author is excellent. Sherry Thomas - The Magnolia Sward: A Ballad of Mulan. The Magnolia Sword: A Ballad of Mulan

Across the Nightingale Floor. It's not exactly about the samurai, but they feature and there's plenty of fighting and assassins.
