“It is good if all the above contain a quiet strength. Moreover, according to what the priest Ryozan heard when he was in the Kamigata area, when one is writing a letter, he should think the the recipient will hake it into a hanging scroll” ( Yamamoto 44)
this is a great saying! I cannot believe I have not heard it before. It seems like this is saying that should be used more often, as well as the idiom of the wall scroll. It speaks of giving things your best effort. This made me think because the text gave me good imagery. It seems like every culture has sayings and idioms that people can make use of for lessons or apply regularly
-being a samurai demands incredible discipline! Can the true samurai be attained?
-is the "quiet strength" the core of a samurai?
