Yamamoto Tsunetomo Tsunetom Knihy

Yamamoto Tsunetomo bol samuraj, ktorý sa po smrti svojho pána rozhodol pre odchod do mníšskeho života. Vo svojom diele Hagakure zaznamenal svoje úvahy o spôsoboch samurajov a o dôležitosti prijatia smrti ako najvyššieho stavu mysle. Veril, že pripravenosť zomrieť umožňuje dosiahnuť vyšší stav života, naplnený krásou a gráciou. Jeho myšlienky, ktoré sa neskôr stali jedným z najznámejších prejavov bushido, zdôrazňujú oslobodenie sa od strachu zo smrti pre dosiahnutie plnej koncentrácie a čistoty.

Warrior ethics have been studied in famous books and popular movies such as Shogun and The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. The Hagakure was originally written in the early 1700s over a seven year period. Dictated by Yamamoto Tsunetomo to an assistant, the book was never meant to be published, but after Tsunetomo's death the assistant published it to honor his master. Inside this ancient text are all the deep and mysterious ways of the Samurai. Page after page of topics unfold, ranging from the best way to face death to not looking foolish in a rainstorm. The Hagakure is chock full of Zen-like wisdom and maxims, and presents a revealing look at history's greatest warrior society, Japan in the age of the Samurai. Many use The Hagakure today as a guidebook on ethics, while others are awestruck by this glimpse at the Samurai's way of thinking.
