Welcome to the world of the samurai, Japan's elite warriors who have captured the imagination of people around the globe with their unparalleled skill, unwavering discipline, and intriguing way of life. These legendary figures were not just soldiers; they were also guardians of ancient traditions and pivotal players in the shaping of Japan's history. From the tumultuous periods of civil wars to the establishment of long-lasting peace, the samurai were at the heart of it all, their swords writing the stories that would define a nation. At the core of the samurai's existence was Bushido, the way of the warrior, a strict ethical code that emphasized virtues such as loyalty, honor, and courage. Bushido was more than just a set of rules for combat; it was a way of life, guiding every decision and action a samurai made. This code of honor helped shape not only the individual warrior but also the broader Japanese culture, leaving a legacy that continues to influence modern society. Join us as we delve into the lives of 10 famous samurai who not only mastered the art of war but also embodied the spirit of Bushido, each in their unique way. From the strategic genius of Tokugawa Ieyasu to the fearless valor of Tomoe Gozen, these warriors' tales of bravery, strategy, and sacrifice offer a fascinating glimpse into the samurai's world and their indelible mark on Japan's destiny.

Samurai Tales is about the legendary men from the samurai class who fought for the helm of power in 19th century Japan. These are stories of courage, honor, fidelity, disgrace, fate, and destiny set in the bloody time of political change and social upheaval in the final years of the Shogun. The final years of the samurai were an age of unprecedented turmoil and bloodletting in Japan. They heralded the end of nearly three centuries of rule under the Tokugawa Shogun. The rule of law was deteriorating, assassination and murder were rampant, and inner-fighting among the warrior class embroiled the nation. After the United States forced an end of over two hundred years of Japanese isolation, two contrasting philosophies were embraced by the samurai. On one side were those who would overthrow the shogun and restore the Emperor to power. Opposing the revolutionaries were the allies of the Tokugawa Bakufu, headed by the shogun. While the shogun's men clashed violently with the revolutionaries, as samurai they shared with each other an allegiance to an unwritten code of honor which governed the ways they lived and died. Theirs was a stoic system of morals which condoned suicide, vengeance and, in some cases, cold-blooded murder. Samurai Tales is, to quote author Romulus Hillsborough, "accurate portrayals of the heart and soul of the samurai, the social and political systems of whom have, like the Japanese sword, become relics of a distant age, but the likes of whose nobility shall never again be seen in this world." In recounting what he terms "the great epic which was the dawn of modern Japan," Hillsborough delves deeply into the psyche of the men of the samurai class. This book would serve well on the bookshelves of martial artists, those interested in samurai culture, or those interested in Japanese history.

A collection of samurai stories of battles, strategy, conflict, and intrigue—featuring some of the greatest warriors and military leaders of the samurai era Martial artist and samurai scholar Pascal Fauliot has collected and retold twenty-eight wisdom tales of the samurai era. The tales are set in the golden age of bushido and represent the pinnacle of traditional Japanese culture in which aristocratic tastes, feudal virtues, and martial skills come together with the implacable insights of Zen. Some of the stories—like “The Samurai and the Zen Cat”—are iconic; others are obscure. They feature notable figures from samurai history and legend: military leaders and strategists such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu; sword masters; ronin; the warrior monk Benkei, and the ninja-samurai Kakei Juzo, among many others. These samurai stories are pithy and engaging, and include tales of battle, strategy, loyalty conflicts, court intrigues, breakthroughs in a warrior’s development, and vengeance achieved or foregone.
