This classic introduction to the chivalric code of honor of the samurai will appeal to a broad range of readers interested in Japanese philosophy, military history, and the samurai era.
Inazo Nitobe, a Japanese philosopher writing in eloquent English, outlines the origins of bushido, or the way of the samurai, and shows how the code permeates traditional Japanese culture.
Nitobe's
extensive research
results in an eclectic
and far-reaching book.
He delved into Buddhism,
Shintoism, and
Confucianism while
seeking similarities and
contrasts by citing
philosophers going back
to the Romans, the
Greeks and Biblical
times. Originally
published 1905, this
work is in its 33rd
printing with Tuttle
Publishing. It
represents one of the
most popular and
authentic depictions of
Samurai-era philosophy.
by Inazo Nitobe.
