"A person who becomes fatigued when unhappy is useless."

I'd like to meet:
I would like to meet Yamamoto Tsunetomo, he was a samurai in the late 16th century. After his master died he was forbiden to commit tsuifuku (ritual suicide) by an edict (religious law). A man named Tsuramoto Tashiro wrote a book about a series of conversations he had with the disgraced samurai Tsunetomo from the years 1709-1716. The book is called Hagakure, or The Book of the Samurai. I would like to talk with Yamamoto, and see what I could learn from him.
