Hagakure: The Secret Wisdom of the Samurai
Description
The comprehensive and accurate edition of the Hagakure is a must-have for
serious martial artists or fans of samurai and the bushido code. The Hagakure
is one of the most influential of all Japanese texts–written nearly 300 years
ago by Yamamoto Tsunetomo to summarize the very essence of the Japanese
Samurai bushido (“warrior”) spirit. Its influence has been felt throughout the
world, and yet its existence is scarcely known to many Westerners. This is the
first translation to include the complete first two books of the Hagakure and
the most reliable and authentic passages contained within the third book; all
other English translations published previously have been fragmentary and
incomplete. Alex Bennett’s wholly new and highly readable translation of this
essential work includes extensive footnotes that serve to fill in many
cultural and historical gaps in the previous translations. This unique
combination of readability and scholarship gives Hagakure: The Secret Wisdom
of the Samurai a distinct advantage over all previous English editions. Read
