Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding and with a timeless design,
Bushido: The Soul of Japan
includes the classic Inazo text with a new introduction.
“Chivalry is a flower no less indigenous to the soil of Japan than cherry blossom” are the opening words to Inazo Nitobe’s
. It was 1900 and Inazo, a Japanese academic living in the USA, had been prompted to write the book after an American professor had wondered how the Japanese imparted moral education on their children if schools didn’t offer any religious instruction. The answer, Inazo realized, was through Bushido. Bushido is the chivalric code of moral principles that the Samurai followed: rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty. Influenced by Confucianism, Shinto, and Zen Buddhism, it tempers the violence of a warrior with wisdom and serenity. Alongside Sun Tzu’s
The Art of War
and Machiavelli’s
The Prince
, Inazo’s book has become influential among military and corporate leaders looking for ways to manage their people and overcome their opponents.
