Tokyo. 1979. Kodansha. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 087011378x. 180 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Philosophy Japan Asia. FROM THE PUBLISHER-At the very heart of Bushido, the Way of the Samurai, were the resolution to accept one's own death and absolute loyalty to one's lord. But the Way was one of action, and the era of domestic peace, which began in the early seventeenth century and lasted until modern times, made the warrior's martial skills redundant. His role in society was still important, however, for to him fell the responsibility of governing. Hagakure was written after a century of peace (about 1716). Though it was, perhaps, never intended that it should be read outside the Nabeshima fief in Kyushu, it came to be the guide to samurai ethics most widely studied, until the end of the feudal period (1868) and for many decades thereafter. Its short, succinct passages were composed in the spirit of the way of thinking they reflect and outline the qualities that make a samurai: readiness to die, whatever one's cause; uncompromising loyalty, singlemindedness, preparedness, artlessness, celerity, decorum and compassion. In one way, it is an extraordinary document—not merely a historical relic, it transcends time, space and the encumbrances of societal living by penetrating to the core of existence with the clarity and vividness of its insights. inventory #7047.
