Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

A Collection of Thoughts, Sayings, and Meditations on the Way of the Samurai. 'It is said that what is called 'the spirit of an age' is something to which one cannot return. That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end. For this reason, although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation.' Hagakure, The Book of the Samurai is a formerly secret text known only to the Samurai, and is a classic text on Bushido, the Way of the Warrior. More than just a handbook for battle, Hagakure is a text that is filled with teachings that still apply in business, political, and social situations today.
