Sommario/riassunto

This book reveals the samurai code of conduct, including their fierce dedication to discipline and moral character. Readers will also learn about the softer side of the samurai and their profound influence on the culture, in part thanks to the influence of Zen Buddhism, and will get a glimpse into the techniques and weapons they used.
