Hagakure ("In the Shadow of Leaves") is a manual for the samurai classes consisting of a series of short anecdotes and reflections that give both insight and instruction-in the philosophy and code of behavior that foster the true spirit of Bushido-the Way of the Warrior. It is not a book of philosophy as most would understand the word: it is a collection of thoughts and sayings recorded over a period of seven years, and as such covers a wide variety of subjects, often in no particular sequence.
The work represents an attitude far removed from our modern pragmatism and materialism, and possesses an intuitive rather than rational appeal in its assertion that Bushido is a Way of Dying, and that only a samurai retainer prepared and willing to die at any moment can be totally true to his lord. While Hagakure was for many years a secret text known only to the warrior vassals of the Hizen fief to which the author belonged, it later came to be recognized as a classic exposition of samurai thought and came to influence many subsequent generations, including Yukio Mishima.
This translation offers 300 selections that constitute the core texts of the 1,300 present in the original.
Hagakure was featured prominently in the film Ghost Dog, by Jim Jarmusch.
[日]山本常朝 1659年生于日本佐贺藩,是佐贺藩武士山本神右卫门重澄七十岁时所生。九岁时做了藩主锅岛光茂的侍童,后一直忠心侍奉藩主。四十二岁时剃发出家,著述《叶隐闻书》。
叶隐闻书确实是今人了解武士道的重要典籍,但是作者多是从锅岛一家的眼光来看世界,为的只是锅岛家的兴旺。虽然文中有很多武士道的精髓,但也未必是武士道的全貌吧?说这是武士道的源头是不是有点过誉了?山本公之道也许在锅岛一家是值得推崇的至理,但也未必防止四海皆准吧? ...
评分其实,武士道分“士道”和“武士道”两个不同的流派——常被引用的名句“生如樱花之灿烂,死如落叶之静美”更偏重于传统的“士道”;而山本长朝的《叶隐》,则仅仅是“武士道”这一流派的典籍。 《叶隐》其内容,说句不好听点儿的,不过是没仗可打、没途径升迁的和平时代下级武...
评分杂感。 这本书的评分,比不上三岛由纪夫写的《叶隐入门》,让我觉得有些有趣。 当然,译者的水平,作者的水平,以及其他一些东西,都会影响读者的感受。这本《叶隐闻书》的评分,也不代表原版的评分不是吗? 但我依然觉得很有趣。 看到某位说,总结这...
评分两年前看到一本有关三岛由纪夫的传记, 一个现世的人却如此迷醉于武士道的终极解脱方式让我感到非常不解, 由此也更想了解武士道所诠释的道义是究竟是什么? <叶隐闻书> 给了我最终的答案, 也让我更进一步的了解了<宫本武藏> 以及被三岛视为人生目的的武士精神. 以不同文化背景下...
