内容説明

The philosophy and strategies of the samurai are explained in this title. "Wisdom of the Samurai" presents new translations of five classic works on Bushido, the way of the samurai warrior. These works, all authored by the scholar Yamaga Soko or his disciples, provided the core ideals and lessons that taught the samurai how to lead a proper life under the martial philosophy of Bushido. Yamaga's writings inspired the transformation of the samurai from a feudal warrior class to a group with great intellectual, political, and ethical leadership and influence. Somewhat similar to "Code of the Samurai", but much longer, more detailed, and the product of a different school of samurai thought.

内容説明

The ancient warrior culture of Japan produced a sophisticated martial philosophy that we know today as Bushido--the Way of the Warrior. In Samurai Wisdom, author Thomas Cleary provides five critical new translations of major Japanese works on Bushido. The writings of the scholar Yamaga Soko and his disciples are among the most lucid expositions we have of the core ideas and philosophy underlying the Samurai's disciplined way of life and outlook. Together they provide an in-depth, practical guide to character building and conduct according to the precepts of Bushido--a code for professional warriors that retains as much relevance in today's world as it had when these works were written 400 years ago. Yamaga's writings inspired the transformation of the Samurai from a feudal class of warriors under the command of the Shogun to a group of prominent individuals with significant intellectual, political and moral leadership and influence. The works translated in Samurai Wisdom for the very first time are as timeless and essential today as the works of Sun Tzu, Musashi and Clausewitz. The five Japanese works on Bushido translated in Samurai Wisdom are: The Way of the Knight by Yamaga Soko The Warrior's Rule by Tsugaru Kodo-shi Essentials of Military Matters compiled by Yamaga Takatsune The Education of Warriors by Yamaga Soko Primer of Martial Education by Yamaga Soko
