Ojayo!
Need some help from your expertise...
Reading trough lines on the internet, I�ve been trying
to understand the difference between "the samurai" and
any other knight...I was reading about the seven
principles codified by Yamagei Yoko and I�ve found
that If try I can definetely follow all of them from a
very humanistic perception and, I really now, that
won�t make of me a samurai...I wish it with all my
heart but I know it is quite different to will than to
be...
Then my question: How can I define the samurai beyond
these principles when these are the basis for them???
Anyone can suggest me any book to move forward on this
issues???
Sincerely
Ivo.
