	Hagakure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hagakure, or Hagakure Kikigaki (葉隠-In the Shadow of Leaves) is a practical and spiritual guide for a warrior, drawn from a collection of commentaries by the former samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo, retainer to Nabeshima Mitsushige, the third ruler of what is now the Saga prefecture in Japan.
		Hagakure asserts that bushido is really the "Way of Dying" or living as though one was already dead, and that a samurai retainer must be willing to die at any moment in order to be true to his lord.
		Hagakure was written partially in an effort to outline the role of the samurai in a more peacetime society.

	Judo Book Review - Hagakure
		In Hagakure we are given a clear impression of what kind of man Jin'emon was, but of Tsunetomo's mother we know nothing more than that her family name was Maeda, and that she was still alive when he had reached the age of fifty-one.
		To speak of Hagakure it is perhaps best to state first what it is not: that is, a well-thought-out philosophy, either in the sense of containing a closely reasoned or logical argument, or in terms of subject matter.
		Hagakure may be regarded as an expression of Yamamoto's sincerity.

		Hagakure -- which can be translated as either "hidden leaves" or "hidden by leaves" -- was published on September 10, 1716.
		So, in a way, Hagakure is not just "The Book of the Samurai," but also a last bit of verbal bravado from a dying breed.
		The philosophy of Hagakure is typical of the unique blend of Zen and Confucianism that was prevalent during Edo Era (1600-1868) Japan.

		Hagakure ('In the Shadow of Leaves'') is a manual for the samurai classes consisting of a series of short anecdotes and reflections that give both insight and instruction--in the philosophy and code of behavior that foster the true spirit of Bushido--the Way of the Warrior.
		While Hagakure was for many years a secret text known only to the warrior vassals of the Hizen fief to which the author belonged, it later came to be recognized as a classic exposition of samurai thought and came to influence many subsequent generations, including Yukio Mishima.

		But if one does enjoy those subjects, Hagakure is interesting not so much for all of its philosophies, which run from the profound to the mundane to the absurd, but rather for the historical context in which it was written.
		In addition to the historical character sketch it paints of samurai during the Edo Era, there are some gems of Eastern philosophy to be mined from the book, including the idea that one must always focus on every moment of his life, so that he may not be found negligent.
		For as Yamamoto writes in Hagakure, "The end is important in all things." By this he means that if everything else goes well, the one bad thing that happens at the end of the day, so to speak, is what people will remember when they think about you.

		I suspect that Hagakure ought to be seen in context of the surrounding "martial glory" culture.
		Given the attitudes on display in the Hagakure, it is not surprising at all that the Japanese suffered the casualties they did once they were up against an enemy they could not completely dominate in the first rush of battle.
		Finally, the Hagakure is a book of rantings by an old samurai at the dusk of the age of samurai.

		No serious martial artists' library is complete without a copy of Hagakure, they say, and the only translation to own is that of William Scott Wilson, one of the very best translators of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century warrior texts.

		eBook Description: Hagakure ("In the Shadow of Leaves") is a manual for the samurai class consisting of a series of short anecdotes and reflections that give both insight and instruction in the philosophy and code of behavior that foster the true spirit of Bushido--the Way of the Warrior.
		It possesses an intuitive rather than rational appeal in its assertion that Bushido is a Way of Dying, and that only a samurai retainer prepared and willing to die at any moment can be totally true to his lord.
		While Hagakure was for many years a secret text known only to the warrior vassals of the Nabeshima fief to which the author belonged, it later came to be recognized as a classic exposition of samurai thought and came to influence many subsequent generations of Japanese, among whom Yukio Mishima was a notable example.

		However, Mongol suicide or near-suicide operational concepts did not extend into the modern world as did those of the Japanese.
		The Japanese military drew upon principles of Bushido, "the way (do) of the warrior (bushi)." These ideas were based on a fusion of Zen Buddhism and later Confucianism and were described in such works as the Hagakure written in 1716 and Inazo Nitobe's Bushido: The Soul of Japan, translated into English in 1900.
		This warrior code contained within it the provision for ritual suicide (seppuku) and made death preferable to the dishonor of being taken prisoner by enemy forces.
