The Bushido Code (also translated as The Way of the Samurai or The Art of the Samurai) or in Japanese, Hagakure (The Hidden in the Leaf), was written by Yamamoto Tsunetomo (1659 - 1719).

He was a samurai from the Saga clan on the island of Kyushu. After the death of his lord Nabeshima Naoshige, Yamamoto became a monk and devoted his entire life to summarising the principles of the Way of the Samurai, as well as promoting the principles of honour and loyalty to his lord.

«The Book of the Five Rings» by Miyamoto Musashi is at the top of many bibliographies on fencing and is a unique textbook on strategy, as the principles set out in it apply both to a single fight and to the fighting of armies. Musashi argues that this is a — «manual for those who want to study strategy», the meaning of which may not be immediately understood by the reader.

How carefully a person studies the principles presented in the book depends on how well he or she learns them for himself or herself.
