- Book 1 of 1: Bushido
With empahsis on such qualities as purity, refinement, honor, justice, and loyalty, this mixture of Buddhism, Zen, Confucianism, and Shintoism has often been compared to the European concept of chivalry.
The code by which these warriors lived was unwritten, but fiercely binding. Bushido is Nitobe's effort to explain this system, its role in society, and its prospects for the future.
No tribute to any author and his work is more fitting than that offered in the introduction to this small, but powerful, volume: "No man in Japan has united the precepts and practice of his own Bushido more harmoniously in life and toil, labor and work, craft of hand and of pen, culture of the soil and the soul."
Nitobe's Bushido is an ever-inspiring mguide to the higher path of conduct in all aspects of life.
