Skip to product information
In the Age of the Shoguns, great leaders were philosophers whose strength was measured not just by the sword but by patience, wisdom and moral clarity! In the wake of the Emmy Award-winning Shogun series, interest in Japan's ancient Samurai culture has never been higher. This book offers a bridge between their world and ours with a collection of sayings drawn from the turbulent final years of Japan's Warring States period and the dawn of the Shogunate. Through the words of legendary warriors such as Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Oda Nobunaga, this volume contains the distilled wisdom of leaders whose greatness was forged in battle. It offers timeless lessons in how to act with integrity and compassion, and how to find stillness and calm amidst chaos. It can be read as a series of daily meditations for quiet inspiration-- with voices from Japan's past illuminating a path forward in your own life toward greater awareness, discipline and inner peace:
The quotations in this collection are presented by artist Naoko Mikami, and each one is accompanied by her elegant works of calligraphy which bring the words in each saying to life on the page.
