Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

The concept of the Samurai resembles that of the medieval Knight. The Samurai were warriors who fought for Japan and their warlords over a period of hundreds of years leading to the creation of a period of stability peace and prosperity. The Samurai code of honour is deeply engrained in the Japanese culture and influences it to this day. This book presents extracts from Samurai manuals such as A BOOK OF FIVE RINGS CODE OF THE SAMURAI and HAGAKURE as well as extracts from Samurai literature such as COMRADE LOVE OF THE SAMURAI by Ihara Saikaku. All of these combine to form a general picture of the Samurai. This book contains many full colour art reproductions making it a perfect gift book for anyone who is interested in Japanese culture Eastern culture martial arts and arts in general.
