About the Author

Inazo Nitobe (1862 - 1933)
Nitobe Inazo; 1 September 1862 - 15 October 1933) was a Christian, agricultural economist, author, educator, diplomat, and politician during Meiji period and Taisho period Japan.

Nitobe was born in Morioka, Mutsu Province (present-day Iwate Prefecture). His father was a retainer to the local daimyo of the Nambu clan. His infant name was Inanosuke. Nitobe left Morioka for Tokyo in 1871 to become the heir to his uncle, Ota Tokitoshi, and adopted the name Ota Inazo. He later reverted to Nitobe when his brothers died. (Quote from wikipedia.org)
