Anything/everything (accurate) about samurai, please.

I've already read "Bushido, the Soul of Japan," and am going to start reading "Hagakure" next. Also on my list:

>The Life-Giving Sword: The Secret Teachings From the House of the Shogun, by Yagyu Munenori
>Ideals of the Samurai, by William Scott Wilson
>The Code of the Samurai: A Modern Translation of the Bushido Shoshinshu of Taira Shigesuke, by Yuzan Daidoji, Oscar Ratti, and Thomas Cleary
>Training the Samurai Mind: A Bushido Sourcebook, by Thomas Cleary
>The Unfettered Mind: Writings from a Zen Master to a Master Swordsman, by Takuan Soho
>The Book of Five Rings, by Miyamoto Musashi

What are some good books (fiction or non), movies, anime, etc., about samurai?

There's always Kenshin.

Maybe you should try /a/ or even /int/.

Shogun was recommended to me by a friend of mine, but I haven't read it.

>Not Samurai

I was thinking about picking up "Shutting out the Sun" the other day, but somehow I decided against it. I'll probably pick it up in the upcoming months.

Shogun was a fucking effort. At ~1500 pages, it was a long read, but it was pretty entertaining.
