An expurgated & excellent version of Tsunetomo's work. The content reflects Tsunemoto's ideals on the Bushido, Zen and Confuscianism. The translation is more than adequate and the content reflects the innermost thoughts of the original author without being tedious and repetitive. If you are looking for a decent overview of Tsunemoto's 'Hidden Leaves' then this is the book for you and will save you the effort of reading all 1300 odd sayings, anecdotes and reflections.
I havent read this book myself, It was a present for my partner, he loves it though ") Hasnt put it down since I gave it to him, Think it was a great present :)
