	Yamamoto Tsunetomo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Judo Book Review - Hagakure
		Tsunetomo's father, Yamamoto Jin'emon, was a man whose character bordered on the eccentric (he was seventy-one years old when Tsunetomo was born), and had served as a retainer to both Naoshige and Katsushige.
		Tsunetomo was a sickly child, and he relates that the doctors predicted that he would not live past the age of twenty.
		Tsunetomo was dissatisfied with his lot, however, and put forth more effort to become a "good samurai." Finally, in 1686, he was summoned to Edo as a scribe and was later attached to the imperial capital of Kyoto.

		Tsunetomo himself was forbidden to commit junshi, a retainer's ritual suicide in order to follow his master into death, by the command of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
		Yamamoto gives the impression that if faced with a philosophical attack on his "way", he would shrug his shoulders and say, "Yes, but that doesn't change a thing." In other words, his examples and aphorisms speak for themselves, and are not meant to either exclude other points of view or force others into conformity.
		Yamamoto offers a lot of advice on charging into battle, seeking revenge, executing others, etc. The main thrust of most of it is: the Samurai does not spend a lot of time thinking about killing his enemy.

		These narratives were compiled by Yamamoto Tsunetomo, who at the time was a retired samurai living in the Hizen region in the island of Kyushu.
		Tsunetomo was deprived of such honor by Mitsushige himself who prohibited junshi years before his death.
		Its cultural impact was not far reaching (this was postponed until the rise of militarism in the 1930’s) but it illustrates the tensions of the period as samurai were trying to make sense of their purpose in life.

		Although Yamamoto requested that the work never be published, the Hagakure—literally meaning "hidden behind the leaves"—did survive, influencing the development of a culture and serving as the basis of Bushido, the way of the samurai.
		The Hagakure was dictated by Yamamoto and later scribed verbatim by Tsuramoto Tashiro over a period of seven years (1710-1716) in which they lived together in a far off mountain retreat in Japan.
		Yamamoto's basic premise was that the Samurai could not serve two masters (religion and the Clan) and by doing so had become less effective.

		It is a compilation of the philosphies of Yamamoto Tsunetomo, a close retainer of Nabeshima Mitsushige, the third ruler of what is now Saga Prefecture.
		The book 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.
		(Yamamoto comes back to this point often, using several examples to show that if things end badly, all good that may have come before it will be erased.

	Hagakure: The Book of the 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.
		The author, Yamamoto Tsunetomo, was a singularly unsuccessful samurai, serving Nabeshima Mistushige in minor positions and without much distinction.
		He never participated in a battle and the values he wrote of in his book were already antiquated in 1716 when it was first compiled.

		And I am glad I came upon his translation and thanks to that reviewer from Japan who pointed out the differece.
		The rest of his book is really well translated and for the first time I feel like Yamaoto Tsunetomo began to make more sense, so I think the problems I faced with other translations were indeed a problem of the transaltions not Yamaoto Tsunetomo.
		This is just my opinion and I have read many translations of the Asian texts with transaltions or not, so hope this is helpful to you just as I was helped by that japanese REVIEWER...and sorry if I offend anyone with my stereotype of "bearded smiling caucasion man in a jacket and white T-shirt".....you know.....anyway
