The Hagakure, written by Yamamoto Tsunemoto in the early 1700s, is a guide to being a warrior and servant in a decadent world. It's probably known best to Westerners, at least indie-film folk and Forest Whitaker fans, as being the favorite text of the hero of
Ghost Dog.

The Hagakure made Ghost Dog so chill that watching him
drive for four minutes is oddly soothing.
