Description

One of the most successful titles on Watkins' first list with PRHPS was The Book of Ninja by Cummins and Minimi, netting over 3,400 units. Like the earlier volume, The Book of Samurai collects primary source material from Japanese archives.THE LOST ART OF THE SAMURAI- Translations of 2 secret scrolls unveil 290+ lessons that define samurai life on and off the battlefield.Perfect for fans of martial arts, Japanese history, and The Book of Five Rings!Antony Cummins and Yoshie Minami have brought the teachings of the famed samurai school Natori-Ryu back to life through The Book of Samurai series. This first installment is a translation of two secret scrolls and establishes the Fundamental Teachings of a samurai student, revealing the basic traditions of Natori-Ryu.The first scroll, Heika Jodan, contains 290 lessons that define the baseline for samurai during times of peace-a time which is considered as preparation for war. It focuses each student on expanding their own ability and conduct, giving them the mind-set needed for any battles to come. The second scroll, Ippei Yoko, moves the student onto the field of battle. It provides them with an understanding of what is expected during a campaign of war and the necessary guidance for samurai who are to take up arms for the first time. These first two Natori-Ryu documents are an in-depth and detailed account of the practicality of samurai warfare, opening up the lost world of these Japanese warriors to all modern readers.
