Soul of the Samurai: Modern Translations of Three Classic Works of Zen & Bushido (Tuttle Specials)
**Editorial Review of "Soul of the Samurai: Modern Translations of Three Classic Works of Zen & Bushido"** "Soul of the Samurai," authored by the renowned Thomas Cleary, presents a concise yet profound exploration of the intersection between Zen principles and Samurai warfare ethos through three classic texts. Many readers have praised the book for its insightful translations, easy-to-read literary style, and the well-placed commentaries that enhance understanding of the ancient principles at play. Practitioners of martial arts seem to find it particularly valuable, as it offers a rich context that aligns well with their training and philosophical inquiries. The three works included—"Martial Arts: The Book of Family Traditions" by Yagyu Munenori, "The Inscrutable Subtlety of Immovable Wisdom," and "Tai-A-Ki: Notes on the Peerless Sword" by Zen Master Takuan—are well-chosen for their historical significance and relevance to contemporary martial arts enthusiasts. Readers appreciate the introductory context provided, allowing for a deeper grasp of the material. However, some critiques emerged regarding the completeness of the translations, particularly that of Takuan Soho's work. A few readers noted that it is not as comprehensive as desired, suggesting that alternative translations may be preferable for those seeking a fuller understanding. Despite this shortfall, the book remains a cherished addition to the library of martial arts aficionados, serving as an enlightening resource for both seasoned practitioners and novices alike. Overall, "Soul of the Samurai" has met with positive reception, commended for its clarity and insight, while also receiving some feedback on its translation completeness. **
