Understand? Good. Play!--Words of Consequence
  By: Masaaki Hatsumi, Benjamin Cole and Masaaki Hatsuni, Release Date: December, 2001
This is not so much a conventional book but more a collection of thoughts, quotes and ideas put forward by Hatsumi over the more recent years. This book is a must have, as Hatsumi feels that only now he understands what Takamatsu taught him. It is part practical information on taijutsu and a large part philosophy. You will take from this book that what is right for you. If you are at all interested in matters beyond pure technique then this will amount to far more words than are actually in the book! Ideas that are put forward are optimistic, universal and reflect the true nature of people.

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu - Exploring The Essence of the Martial Arts
  by Alex Esteve (supervised by Sôke Masaaki Hatsumi)
Celebrate the inestimable historical legacy inherited by Professor Masaaki Hatsumi, current head (Sôke) of the numerous schools forming the Bujinkan Dôjô. The lessons passed down to him by his teacher, Toshitsugu Takamatsu, are filled with the history, philosophy and martial arts of Japan itself. Amongst the various aspects of this legacy, the most special was surely that of Ninjutsu, with its fabled Ninja – of which much is said but little is actually known.
This monumental work consists of two volumes. In this, the first, Sôke Masaaki Hatsumi speaks to us directly, clearing up confusion and passing on his great wisdom. At the same time, eighteen of the Bujinkan Dôjô’s top Shihan (highly ranked teachers) from around the world, who are in a position to absorb Sôke’s profound teachings first-hand, share their thoughts with us.
