Japanese philosophy for beginners?

Alright senpai, school me:
I'm looking for entry level books about Japanese philosophy - not necessarily in the way I would look at schools of philosophy in the west, but I'm more talking about what inspired the thing we in the west call "the Japanese way of life", if that makes any sense.
I'm sure that feudalist tradition plays a huge role in it, which is why I think I should check out Musashi's Five Rings? Maybe Bushido?
Or is that putting the cart before the horse, and I should look at zen buddhism? If so, what is a good entry level work, especially how the Japanese have adapted it into their culture?
