Lords of the Samurai: The Legacy of a Daimyo Family
Autor Yoko Woodson Prefață de Hosokawa Morihiro Autor Takeuchi Jun'ichi, Thomas Clearyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 aug 2017
Japan's
samurai
were
professional
soldiers,
but
they
could
also
be
cultivated
artists,
writers
and
philosophers.
"Samurai"
means
"he
who
serves,"
and
these
fierce
warriors
acted
in
the
service
of
powerful
feudal
lords
known
as
daimyo
("great
name").
Among
the
most
important
daimyo
families
were
members
of
the
Hosokawa
clan,
whose
lineage
dates
back
some
six
hundred
years.
Lords of the Samuraibrings to life the code of the samurai and the private and public lives of the daimyo by focusing on approximately 160 works from the Hosokawa family collection housed in the Eisei-Bunko Museum in Tokyo, the Kumamoto Castle and the Kumamoto Municipal Museum in Kyushu. Japanese historical objects discussed include suits of armor, armaments (including swords and guns), formal attire, calligraphy, paintings, tea ware, lacquer ware, masks, and musical instruments.
To the daimyo, martial arts were not just a physical or military activity—they were part of a spiritual and ethical program that governed every aspect of their existence. Featuring an extended essay by Thomas Cleary,Lords of the Samurailays bare the principles that governed the spirit of the samurai, enabling it to endure for hundreds of years and continue to resonate today.

Recenzii
"It
seems
that
when
they
were
not
fighting
one
another
the
famed
samurai
liked
to
indulge
in
calligraphy
and
painting
and
compose
poetry.
This
exhibition
brings
together
more
than
15
works
from
across
Japan,
including
armor,
swords
and
guns,
calligraphy
and
paintings."
