Synopsis

An updated edition of this classic book - with a NEW INTRODUCTION by Solomon James. The concept of Bushido is as relevant today as it was when it was a part of the Japanese way of life during the 13th to 16th centuries. Today, however, it exists as a moral and ethical code rather than a practical fighting one. Bushido is a Japanese term meaning the ‘Way of the Warrior’ that refers to the samurai way of life that many western observers may equate with the notion of European chivalry. The term ‘Bushido’ was made popular to a western audience thanks largely to this book by Inazo Nitobe, which was first written and published in English in 1899. It was only later translated into Japanese where it was initially received with mixed reviews. Yet the book continued to circulate and be read and reached a new best-seller status in the 1980s, and has now been translated into dozens of languages.

À propos de l'auteur
