HAGAKURE The book of the Samurai: Original Version + An in-depth look at Japanese Imperialism

About this book

In the early 1700s, Yamamoto Tsunetomo, after having been a samurai for a long time and then becoming a Buddhist monk at the end of his life composed this extraordinary text as his spiritual testament. It is the one of a samurai forged in the spirit of loyalty and honor combined with the inner depth of the religious tradition he used to practice. The author did not want it published, believing it to be his "intimate dialogue," and for a good two hundred years it was like that : it was only in 1906 that what is now more than ever a gospel of ethicality, an inspiring example of "conscious presence," was given to print for a culture such as our Western one , pragmatic, rational and too often superficial .What will you get from the reading of this version?Are you ready to discover Master Tsunetomo's advice applicable in your today life?Go back and click on order now!
