This book is part of the unique Book of Samurai series that
comprises the works of 17th-century samurai tactician Natori
Sanjuro Masazumi, retainer and advisor to the lords of Kishu
domain. It offers an unparalleled insight into the weaponry and
armour of the samurai era, as well as tactical advice for use on
the battlefield and off - wisdom that can be applied to many
scenarios today.Heieki Yoho, the first scroll translated in this
book, offers advice for every possible situation, from moving
troops to besieging a castle to fighting on the open battlefield.
From turning thieves or cowards to good service, to practising
"external listening" in order to obtain information from as many
sources as possible, to penetrating the deeper motives of those who
slander (or praise) others, the advice here is thought provoking
and paints a vivid picture of samurai Japan at war.Heigu Yoho, the
second scroll, gives us a rare and precious glimpse into samurai
arms and armour, including their construction, status regulations
and connected ceremonies, mythology and Buddhist doctrine: a
helmet's ventilation hole, for example, allows access to the 98,000
gods of war. There is an accessible introduction and a glossary, as
well as 130 line drawings that include illustrations of arms and
armour, strategic diagrams and beautiful examples of Japanese
calligraphy.
