Customer Reviews

Think like a Samurai
The book will help you get into the mind of the Samurai. Has an excellent description of an actual sepuku ceremony.

Bushido- Ways of a modern warrior
Make your world and yourself a better place by heeding the advice of this book. Timeless and to the point.

A fantastic introduction to the way of the warrior
Bushido is literally translated "warrior path" and this book explains that path in to-the-point detail.

the whole book is filled with inspiring quotes, practical advice and a good look at what a feudal samurai had to be. Some other things are explained, such as suppuku (ritual suicide), honor, commitment and more.

For those interested in the martial arts, Japanese history and fighting cultures... this is an excellent book. It is well combined with "The Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi, "The Art of War" By Sun Tzu, "The Tao te Ching" by Lao Tzu and "budoshoshinshu" by Daidoji Yuzan.
