Description
Antony
Cummins and Yoshie Minami have brought the teachings of the famed samurai school Natori-Ry? back to life
through The Book of Samurai series, and present the lost arts of the samurai in the English language for the first
time.
BOOK ONE is a translation of two secret scrolls and establishes the Fundamental Teachings of a samurai
student, revealing the basic traditions of Natori-Ry?. The first scroll, Heika J
?dan, contains 290 lessons that
define the baseline for samurai during times of peace, a time which is considered
as preparation for war, focusing each student on expanding their own ability
and conduct, giving them the mind-set needed for any battles to come. The
second scroll, Ippei Y?k?, moves the
student onto the field of battle, giving them an understanding of what is
expected of them during a campaign of war and providing the necessary guidance
for samurai who are to take up arms for the first time. These first two
Natori-Ry? documents are an in-depth and detailed account of the practicality
of samurai warfare, opening up the lost world of these Japanese warriors to all
modern readers.
