Description
This English-language edition presents Inazo Nitobe’s classic work on Bushido, the moral code followed by the Samurai. Written in 1900 after an American professor asked how Japanese children received moral education without religious instruction in schools, the book identifies Bushido as the answer. Its principles include rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honour and loyalty. Influenced by Confucianism, Shinto and Zen Buddhism, the code tempers a warrior’s violence with wisdom and serenity. Alongside Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and Machiavelli’s The Prince, Nitobe’s work has influenced military and corporate leaders seeking ways to manage people and overcome opponents. This edition includes the classic text and a new introduction, presented in traditional Chinese binding with a timeless design, and will appeal to readers interested in leadership, the Samurai code and Japanese culture.
