When it comes to books on samurai philosophy, the Edo-period classic \u003ci\u003eHagakure\u003c\/i\u003e is iconic to contemporary readers, but\u003ci\u003e Budōshoshinshu,\u003c\/i\u003e which was written during same period, was equally influential at the time. Many scholars consider \u003ci\u003eHagakure,\u003c\/i\u003e which was influenced by Zen, to be the most radical and romantic of samurai texts, while \u003ci\u003eBudōshoshinshu \u003c\/i\u003eis more measured and practical, owing to its heavy Confucian influence. Taken in tandem, they provide a range of insights on the role of the individual within the samurai order—both addressing the warrior’s role in times of peace and emphasizing the importance of living selflessly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written by Daidoji Yūzan, a Confucian scholar who descended from a long line of prominent warriors, \u003ci\u003eBudōshoshinshu\u003c\/i\u003e comprises 56 pithy instructive essays for young samurai on how to live morally, with professional integrity and a higher purpose, and to carry on the true chivalrous tradition of bushidō.\u003ci\u003e Budōshoshinshu\u003c\/i\u003e is imbued with classic Confucian philosophy, centered on living one’s life with sincerity and loyalty.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405083738367,"sku":"9781611805680","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781611805680_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597050","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781611805680","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
