A Primer for Warriors and Philosophers Yamamoto Tsunetomo's concise guide to living the life of the Samurai "A man exists for a generation, but his name lasts to the end of time." Yamamoto Tsunetomo was a samurai in the early 1700's, a time when Japan had been at peace for a century, and the question of how to maintain a strong warrior class in a time of protracted peace was as vital as it is today. Forbidden to commit ritual suicide following the death of his master, he retired to a monastery, where a follower wrote down his words on living the samurai life, published in 1716 as Hagakure. Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai was prominently featured in Jim Jarmusch's 2000 film, Ghost Dog, starring Forest Whitaker. This New Albion Press edition can be annotated, searched, and highlighted by the reader. PocketPC Compatible
