Summary

Yamamoto Cunetomo: Hagakure - a book about samurai

Hagakure (In the Shadow of Leaves or Fallen Leaves) or Hagakure Kikigaki, is a practical guide for the samurai warrior, which was created from a collection of commentaries by Yamamoto Tsunetomo, a former official of Nibushim Mitsushige, the third ruler of Saga Prefecture in Japan. Tashiro Tsuremoto made these comments from his conversations with Tsunetoma from 1709 to 1716, but the book was not published until many years later. The difference between this book and the bushido, the codex of the samurai class, should be noted immediately. Bushido (literally translated the way of the warrior) represents a set of knowledge, skills and qualities that a samurai should possess. Written at a time when there was no officially sanctioned samurai fighting, the book wrestles with the dilemma of maintaining a warrior class in the absence of war and reflects the author's nostalgia for a world that disappeared before his birth. Two centuries after its publication, the Hagakure was largely forgotten, but it came to be regarded as the definitive guide for samurai during the Pacific War. Hagakure is also known as The Book of the Samurai, Analects of Nabeshima, or Hagakure Analects.
