Yamamoto Kansuke

[gsx1100s]

Some of you would recognize the name as one of the Takedas famous generals .
I am searching for a copy (in english) of the book reputabely written by him. The books name is "Heiho Okugi Sho" .

Any help would be appreciated!!

It is called "The Secret of High Strategy" in English, published by W.M. Hawley, translated by ObataToshishiro. It wasn't actually written by Yamamoto Kansuke, but probably by Obata Kagenori (yes there is a relation according to Obata Toshishiro, but...). It appeared at the beginning of the Tokugawa period in the text the Koyo gunkan, which was compiled and partly written by Kagenori.
