The Hagakure is a book of samurai teachings and philosophy, compiled in the early 18th century from the sayings of Yamamoto Tsunetomo, a Japanese samurai. It emphasizes the Bushido code, focusing on loyalty, duty, honor, and the acceptance of death as central to a samurai's life. Often called "The Book of the Samurai," it offers insights into the mindset and ethics of samurai culture.
