Hagakure, The Book of Samurai - Chapter-by-Chater full reading

Hagakure is presented here as a full, chapter-by-chapter reading of The Way of the Samurai. This recording covers Chapters 1–10 in an unabridged narration ideal for study, reflection, or background listening while exploring samurai ethics and practice. Written in the early 18th century in the Saga Domain, Hagakure was compiled from the recollections and teachings of Yamamoto Tsunetomo (1659–1719), a former retainer of the Nabeshima clan. Tsunetomo dictated his reflections on bushido, duty, loyalty, and the samurai way of life to a younger samurai; the text is a meditation on readiness to die, personal conduct, and moral clarity shaped by the political and social context of Tokugawa Japan. This reading aims to retain the tone and cadence of the original passages while making the ideas accessible to modern listeners. This video was recorded as a focused listening experience to bring out the contemplative rhythm of the text. Use it as an audiobook-style companion for study, for quiet meditation on leadership and ethics, or as an introduction to pre-modern Japanese thought.
