"Hagakure, or Hidden in the foliage" - a famous treatise on the code of honor of the samurai (bushido), held in the canons of Zen Buddhism, Shintoism and Confucianism and compiled on the basis of conversations with the samurai XVII century Tsunetomo Yamamoto, who became a Buddhist monk under the name of Jyoto Yamamoto. These stories of martial valor and martial duty, conscience and responsibility, recorded by one of Jyoto's disciples, are not a collection of commandments, but an original method of learning about the world and comprehending wisdom. "Perhaps 'Hagakure' was originally a paradox book," wrote the modern classicist Yukio Mishima. - During the war it radiated light, but in broad daylight it was not very visible, and only in the darkness did the book truly shine. This book professes freedom. This book appeals to the heat of hearts." Published in translation from Japanese - most previous editions of "Hagakure" in Russian were based on the English translation.
