Hagakure - How to Live and Die as a Samurai - Nuinui

Hagakure is the sacred text of bushido, the samurai code of honour: a book that, after three centuries, has lost none of its power — speaking directly to anyone who wants to understand discipline, loyalty, and purposeful living.

This Nuinui edition — the most complete translation available, edited by Ornella Civardi, a specialist in Japanese literature and winner of the Premio Alcantara for translation — brings Yamamoto Tsunetomo's masterpiece to life through maxims, short stories, advice and aphorisms, richly annotated and carefully introduced.

The strategies of warriors remain relevant for managers, students and anyone facing daily challenges. Honour, resolve, respect for rules and conscious loyalty are not relics of a distant era — they are compass points as useful today as ever. One of the greatest works of Japanese literature, in an edition that also stands as a precious historical document.
