Following artistic success and critical acclaim in the American independent film community, he achieved mainstream renown with his far-East philosophical crime film Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, shot in Jersey City and starring Forest Whitaker as a young inner-city man who has found purpose for his life by unyieldingly conforming it to the Hagakure, an 18th-century philosophy text and training manual for samurai, becoming, as directed, a terrifyingly deadly hit-man for a local mob boss to whom he may owe a debt, and who then betrays him.

These commentaries were compiled and published in 1716 under the title of Hagakure, a word that can be translated as either In the shadow the Leaves or hidden leaves.

The word, denoting a coherent code of beliefs and doctrines about the proper path of the samurai, or what is called generically ' warrior thought ' ( 武家思想, buke shisō ), is rarely encountered in Japanese texts before the Meiji era, when the 11 volumes of the Hagakure of Yamamoto Tsunetomo, compiled in the years from 1710 to 1716 where the character combination is employed, was finally published.

Hagakure is also known as The Book of the Samurai, Analects of Nabeshima or Hagakure Analects.

Hagakure is sometimes said to assert that bushido is really the " Way of Dying " or living as though one was already dead, and that a samurai must be willing to die at any moment in order to be true to his lord.
