Samurai Warrior Operations Manual: Daily Life * Fighting Tactics * Religion * Art * Weapons, Hardcover

Description Samurai Warrior Operations Manual examines the Samurai world: the moral and psychological development of the warrior, the ethical standards they were meant to uphold, their training in both martial arts and strategy, and the enormous role that the traditions of Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism had in influencing samurai ideals.
