Hagakure. Hidden in the leaves. Samurai Code of Honor

"Hagakure" is the most authoritative treatise on bushido - the samurai's code of honor. This was the name in ancient Japan for the set of rules and regulations regulating the behavior and daily life of the samurai - the military class that determined the history of their country for centuries. Purity and clarity of language, depth of thought and utmost sincerity of experience characterize the work of Yamamoto Tsunetomo, the great samurai who tried in his own way to answer the question: “How do we live? How do we die?”
