Tsunetomo Yamamoto Livres

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. It is not a book of philosophy as most would understand the word: it is a collection of thoughts and sayings recorded over a period of seven years, and as such covers a wide variety of subjects, often in no particular sequence. The work represents an attitude far removed from our modern pragmatism and materialism, and posesses 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 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.

Presents a translation of Tsunetomo Yamamoto's "Hagakure," which formed the basis of behavior, values, and etiquette for samurai warriors.

Hagakure (skrytý v listí) je text, který vznikl na začátku 18. století v Japonsku.Text nadiktoval samuraj Cunemoto Jamamoto jako reflexi budhistickeho mnicha, kterým se stal po smrti představeného klanu Nabešima. Myšlenkový základ pro filosofii Hagakure tvoří Cunetomovo studium názorů dvou učenců. Prvním byl zenbuddhistický kněz Tannen, člověk nezlomných zásad a vůle, jenž se vzdal funkce hlavního kněze ve významném chrámu rodu Nabešima na protest proti rozsudku smrti nad jedním knězem. Dalším člověkem, který měl v tomto i pozdějším období na Cunetoma zásadní vliv, byl konfuciánský učenec Ittei Išida, jenž v kraji Saga proslul svou upřímností a zásadovostí.

Das »Hagakure« ist einer der einflussreichsten japanischen Texte überhaupt. Vor über 300 Jahren diktierte Tsunetomo Yamamoto seinen Schülern diese Lektionen, um den Ehrenkodex und die Kultur der Samurai hochzuhalten.

Diese Ausgabe enthält die ersten beiden Bücher vollständig und ausgewählte Auszüge aus dem dritten Buch. Zahlreiche Erläuterungen machen den Originaltext leicht zugänglich. Der essenzielle Begleiter für Kampfsport-Enthusiasten und jeden, der vom alten Japan fasziniert ist.

Hagakure significa "a la sombra de las hojas" y es una obra literaria japonesa escrita por Yamamoto Tsunetomo en el siglo XVIII. Su intención era transmitir a las generaciones venideras las reglas del bushido, es decir, el código guerrero de los samuráis. Se trata de un breviario, un compendio de anécdotas y reflexiones de temática variada y sin un orden preestablecido, hecho con la intención de transmitir introspección y conocimiento filosófico al tiempo que promueve el espíritu del bushido. El texto solo iba dirigido a los guerreros y se mantuvo en secreto durante muchos años. Posteriormente llegó a convertirse en un clásico de la cultura japonesa. Con una esencia que se contrapone al materialismo imperante en nuestra sociedad, este texto ha alcanzado gran notoriedad en nuestros días y ha llegado a convertirse en libro de cabecera de personajes tan admirados como Fernando Alonso, que ha llegado a tatuarse un samurái en su espalda. "¿Yo, en una palabra?", respondía recientemente en una entrevista: "Guerrero. [El samurái] es una manera de recordarme quién soy, de dónde vengo y la fuerza que tengo que tener cada día."
