Eastern classics
Which are the best english translations of Hagakure and Art of War? Also, what are some lesser-known english-translated eastern works beyond the most popularized classics?

I read some of penguin classics "essays of idleness" or "Tsurezuregusa" by yoshida kenko and kinda liked it
maybe i should read one of these too:
"The work is widely considered a gem of medieval Japanese literature and one of the three representative works of the zuihitsu genre, along with The Pillow Book and the Hōjōki.[2][3]"

The Zuo Zhuan was in the top 5 most important texts for much of Chinese civilisation and yet it’s never mentioned
