Immerse yourself in the world of the Samurai with this classic
text. Code of the Samurai is the 350-year-old summary of the rules
and expectations embodied in Bushido--the ancient Japanese "Way of
the Warrior." Written by Taira Shigesuke, a Samurai and prominent
teacher of military techniques, it was published posthumously in
1834. This influential book was intended as a training manual for
young Samurai, outlining personal and professional standards. This
accessible and enjoyable translation is by Thomas Cleary, the
foremost translator of Asian martial classics, accompanied by the
powerful line drawings of master illustrator Oscar Ratti. A new
foreword by Alexander Bennett, a leading expert on Samurai history,
explains the lasting importance of this classic work and its place
within the canon of Japanese literature.
