Samurai Books

[JediMasterChris]

I was wondering if anybody would suggest any books about Samurai? I really liked the book of 5 rings by Miyamoto Musashi and wondered if anybody knew of any other books like that.

Try Budoshoshinshu. I havent read it yet and haven't seen anything about it on this site.

Budoshoshinshu = code of the bushido = code of the samurai
all the same different terms.... it's all about their philosophy categorized by subject i.e. death family etc...
