Description

The Hagakure: A Comprehensive Guide to the Samurai Spirit Written nearly 300 years ago, the Hagakure is a seminal text that distills the essence of the Japanese Samurai bushido spirit. This influential work, penned by Yamamoto Tsunetomo, has had a profound impact on the world, yet its existence remains relatively unknown to many Westerners. For serious martial artists and those interested in the samurai code, this edition offers a unique opportunity to explore the complete first two books and the most reliable passages from the third book. A new and highly readable translation by Alex Bennett brings extensive footnotes to the fore, filling in cultural and historical gaps in previous translations. This combination of readability and scholarship sets this edition apart from others.
