Synopsis

Beautifully produced in a handy pocket-size format and with a timeless design, Bushido: Code of the Samurai includes the classic Inazo Nitobe text with a new introduction and colorful illustrations throughout.
 
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. This edition of Bushido will appeal to anyone interested in leadership, the code of the Samurai, and Japanese culture.
