Samurai Wisdom: Lessons from Japans Warrior Culture: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Samurai Wisdom: Lessons from Japans Warrior Culture" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The writings of the scholar Yamaga Soko and his disciples are among the clearest expositions we have of the core ideals and philosophy underlying the Samurais disciplined way of life and outlook. Together they provide an in-depth, practical guide to character building and conduct according to the precepts of Bushidoa code for professional warriors that retains as much relevance in todays world as it had when these works were written 400 years ago.
Yamagas writings inspired the transformation of the Samurai from a feudal class of warriors under the command of the Shogun to a group of powerful individuals with great intellectual, political and moral leadership and influence. The works translated in Samurai Wisdom for the very first time are as timeless and important today as the works of Sun Tzu, Musashi and Clausewitz.
The five Japanese works on Bushido translated in Samurai Wisdom are:
- The Way of the Knight by Yamaga Soko
- The Warriors Rule by Tsugaru Kodo-shi
- Essentials of Military Matters compiled by Yamaga Takatsune
- The Education of Warriors by Yamaga Soko
- Primer of Martial Education by Yamaga Soko

Essentials of
Military Matters
Compiled by Yamaga Takatsune
Between sky and earth, humans and other beings are produced by the union of two energies. Humans are the most intelligent of all beings; humans are the most advanced of all beings.
Here, ever-reproducing humans may produce food by agriculture, or produce tools and goods by industry, or meet the needs of the world by commerce. So agriculture, industry, and commerce invariably arise together.
The samurai, however, eats without tilling, uses what he doesnt make, and earns without engaging in trade. Why is that?
As I reflect on my present status, I was born in a house of hereditary archers and cavaliers, and I am a public servant for the imperial court. I am one of those samurai, who do not till, manufacture, or trade. There must be a job for a samurai. Someone who eats without having a job should be called an idler.
We should turn our attention to ourselves and examine ourselves thoroughly. Who fulfills their nature by idleness, even be it plants and trees, lowly fish and insects, or birds and beasts, to say nothing of humans?
Birds and beasts fly and run to get food, fish and insects swim and swarm seeking food, plants and trees send their roots deep into the earth. Every one of them is preoccupied by the search for food, all the time, every day, all year long.
All beings are like this. In the human realm, farmers, artisans, and merchants are also like this. If it were possible to live out ones life without working, one should be called a thief of nature.
So why should knights have no occupation? Asking yourself this question, only by examining the work of a knight will the role of knights become evident. As long as you havent given this any thought, as long as you just go by what people say or what is written in books, since you havent realized it in your gut and heart, your aspiration is established on an extremely weak basis.
