In addition to providing excerpts from classic tales of Japan's
warrior past, this volume draws on a wide range of lesser-known but
revealing sources -- including sword inscriptions, edicts, orders,
petitions, and letters -- to expand and deepen our understanding of
the samurai, from the order's origins in the fifth century to its
abolition in the nineteenth. Taken together with Thomas Donald
Conlan's contextualising introductions and notes, these sources
provide a rare window into the experiences, ideals, and daily lives
of these now-sentimentalised warriors. Numerous illustrations, a
glossary of terms, and a substantial bibliography further enhance
the value of this book to students, scholars, and anyone interested
in learning more about the samurai.
