Description: When one tries to get a proper understanding of someone's character it is best to see what that person actually did in particular situations and at specific times. How did that person act in relation to his family, his neighborhood, and his community? This is better than relying only on what that person wrote, however valuable those writings may be. This is also true of Kurozumi Munetada. -- from foreword
