The comprehensive and accurate edition of the Hagakure is a
must-have for serious martial artists or fans of samurai and the
bushido code. The Hagakure is one of the most influential of all
Japanese texts--written nearly 300 years ago by Yamamoto Tsunetomo
to summarize the very essence of the Japanese Samurai bushido
("warrior") spirit. Its influence has been felt throughout the
world, and yet its existence is scarcely known to many Westerners.
This is the first translation to include the complete first two
books of the Hagakure and the most reliable and authentic passages
contained within the third book; all other English translations
published previously have been fragmentary and incomplete. Alex
Bennett's wholly new and highly readable translation of this
essential work includes extensive footnotes that serve to fill in
many cultural and historical gaps in the previous translations.
This unique combination of readability and scholarship gives
Hagakure: The Secret Wisdom of the Samurai a distinct advantage
over all previous English editions.
