The Way of the Samurai is an accessible, enthralling text about a magical chapter in human history; a time when chivalry and courage were paramount. The chapter on hara-kiri or suicide communicates the overriding importance of honour to the Japanese warrior class: it was far more preferable to die an honourable death than to accept defeat or a dishonourable compromise. Drawing on Japanese traditions such as Shinto and Buddhism, and citing parallels with Western philosophy and literature, Nitobe's text is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the culture and morals of Japan.
Inazo Nitobe (1862 1933) was scholar and an educator. After studying at John Hopkins University he maintained his links with the US and tried through his academic career to become a bridge across the Pacific . He wrote Bushido: The Soul of Japan, published here as The Way of the Samurai, in 1899 and the book established his reputation in the West.
