I had the chance to read this book on the samurai mind recently. It was extremely interesting because it gave you a clear idea of how several notable individuals from Japan's past thought about duty, honor, strategy, among other things.

Now of those many writers, Adachi Masahiro was definitely one that I had never heard of but what he wrote resonated with me.

His focus was on the psychological side of military thought and strategy. In fact, there was a lot of commonality between what he wrote and what could be found in Musashi's Book of Five Rings. The difference was where Musashi had been vague, Masahiro was crystal clear.

Now I'm going to analyze what he wrote by section.
