辞世の筆/The Book of Resignation

A "resignation calligraphy" is a brush stroke that a samurai writes down as his last words in this life when he foresees his death.
侍が死を予見したときにこれまでの人生を振り返り、この世での最後の文字として筆で書き残すもの

Shame is the basis of moral consciousness, and honor in Bushido is the basic virtue for pursuing aesthetics as a person.
武士道における名誉とは、人としての美学を追究するための基本の徳である。
Honor in Bushido means respecting one's name and living a noble life without shame.

As Matabei waits for the following troops to arrive, he says, ``The Tokugawa spearhead troops have already arrived.''
Realizing that his plan was doomed, Matabei attacked the Tokugawa vanguard without waiting and was killed.
Kanesō Usuda, who arrived after Matabei, was also killed in the battle.
Mouri Katsunaga's and Sanada Nobushige's troops arrived shortly afterward, but it was too late...Toyotomi's forces retreated to Osaka Castle.

Nobushige Sanada Yukimura was found by the enemy as he rested against a tree in the precincts of Yasui Shrine during the summer campaign in Osaka, and died in battle, leaving behind his last words, ``Take credit for this head.'' …

真田信繁（幸村）は大阪夏の陣、安居神社境内で木にもたれかかり、身体を休ませていたところを、敵方に発見され「この首を手柄にされよ」という最後の言葉を残して討ち死に…

The tea ceremony teaches us everything that is important.
大切なことは全て茶道が教えてくれる

Samurai tea ceremony enthusiasts enthusiastically enjoy the tea ceremony and are obsessed with collecting specialty items. Nobunaga becomes happy by ``hunting specialties,'' such as offering famous tea utensils and forcing them to buy them.
武家茶道は熱心に茶の湯を嗜み、名物の収集に夢中に…。信長は名物の茶器を献上させたり、強制的に買い上げるなどの「名物狩り」を行い悦になる

[Osaka no Jin⚔Sacred place pilgrimage] There is also a well said to be Sanada's loophole at Isshinji Temple, right in front of Yasui Shrine where Nobushige Sanada died.
The “Sanada family = loophole” also exists in the famous Ueda Castle and Yasui Shrine/Sanada Maru, so it is a must-see for pilgrims to sacred places.

During the summer campaign, Tadanao Matsudaira, who was scolded by Ieyasu, boldly attacked Sanada Yukimura's main camp on Mt. Chausu.

【大坂の陣 縁の地巡り/Visiting the grounds of Osaka no Jin】

Japan's oldest temple, Shitennoji, was burnt down during the Winter Siege, leaving behind its stone torii gate, and during the Summer Siege, a fierce battle took place at the South Gate.
日本最古の寺の四天王寺は冬の陣で石の鳥居を残し焼失し、夏の陣では南大門で激しい戦いが行われた。

"Bushido is found in death."
He was willing to die for a certain purpose. If you always act and die with the intention of dying every morning and evening, you will never fail in your life and will be able to fulfill your family duties.
If I were asked to choose between life and loyalty, I would not spare my life in the slightest.

It reminds me of the way SAMURAI and his friends used to walk around Samurai Road Tsumago-juku.

かつてサムライロード（妻籠宿）で、SAMURAI達が歩き過ごした様子が思い浮かぶようだ。

Experience to master Bushido
At SAMURAI, we thoroughly train, exercise, and carry ourselves. You will experience them through the ways of life and death.

Kiyomasa Kato, a samurai who was known as a master castle builder during the Sengoku period, built Kumamoto Castle on the most beautiful and magnificent stone wall in Japan, using the most advanced technology and labor at the time.

戦国の築城名人として知られた加藤清正は、当時の最先端技術と労力を投じて日本一美しく壮大な石垣の上に熊本城を築城させた。

[Scattered cherry blossoms]
【散り桜】

Cherry blossoms are reminiscent of ``short-lived'' because their flowers fall quickly. Because the samurai were determined to win the war, family crests associated with scattering, ephemeral, and bad luck became distant.

桜は花が散るのが早いため「短命」を連想させます。 侍は戦勝にかけているため、散る、儚い、不吉を連想する家紋は疎遠に。

Japanese martial arts begins and ends with courtesy.
礼で始まり礼で終わります
Bowting is a way to convey your sincerity to the other person.
お辞儀は相手に誠意の心を伝える意
This consideration for the environment meant confronting the problem samurai faced every day: death.

Osaka Castle, whose moat was filled in during the Osaka Winter Siege, fell on May 8, 1615.

真の忠義とは何であろうか？武士道は主君のために生き、そして死なねばならない。

What is true loyalty? Bushido must live and die for its master.
