Synopsis

Chivalry is a flower no less indigenous to the soil of Japan than its emblem, the cherry blossom; nor is it a dried-up specimen of an antique virtue preserved in the herbarium of our history. It is still a living object of power and beauty among us; and if it assumes no tangible shape or form, it not the less scents the moral atmosphere, and makes us aware that we are still under its potent spell. The conditions of society which brought it forth and nourished it have long disappeared.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Inazo Nitobe was a Japanese educator, diplomat, writer, agricultural economist, and Christian thinker whose work helped interpret Japanese culture for Western readers in the early twentieth century. Born in 1862, he studied in Japan, the United States, and Europe, and became known for his ability to move between Japanese and Western intellectual worlds. His writing often joined moral philosophy, education, religion, national character, and international understanding.Nitobe's best-known work, Bushido: The Soul of Japan, presented the samurai code as a moral and cultural system shaped by courage, honor, loyalty, self-restraint, courtesy, sincerity, and duty. The book became one of the most influential English-language accounts of Bushido and helped define Western perceptions of Japanese ethics for generations. Nitobe later served in international roles, including work connected to the League of Nations, and remains important to readers interested in Japanese culture, Eastern philosophy, comparative ethics, and the history of cross-cultural interpretation.
