Ronald Grenier (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Tales of the Samurai" by Asataro Miyamori is a collection of traditional Japanese stories that illustrate the moral principles, or Bushido, of the samurai class, likely written in the early 20th century. Each tale draws on historical themes and character archetypes that embody the virtues of loyalty, honor, and bravery, offering insight into the cultural significance of the samurai in Japanese society. The opening story introduces Daté Masamuné and his sandal-bearer, Heishiro, setting up a narrative of conflict, revenge, and ultimately a complex transformation of character. The beginning of the book presents the story of Daté Masamuné, a young daimio who, captivated by the beauty of a snowy landscape, harshly punishes his loyal servant Heishiro under the mistaken belief that he has been dishonored. This incident ignites Heishiro's desire for revenge, leading him to join a temple and transform into a highly respected priest. However, after years of seeking vengeance, he realizes that his anger has been misplaced and that his suffering was a catalyst for personal growth. This opening tale underscores the themes of redemption and transformation while hinting at the deeper philosophical lessons inherent in the samurai ethos.
