I began researching the samurai a few months ago. I found this yahoo group. I found a bunch of resources online. I stumbled upon this blog called urban samurai. where this guy takes passages from samurai books and gives his interpretation. while it's not really helping me in my research, some of them are great. very inspiring.
thought I would share one.
