"Chivalry is a flower no less indigenous to the soil of Japan than
cherry blossom" are the opening words to Inazo Nitobe's Bushido:
The Soul of Japan. It was 1900 and Inazo, a Japanese academic
living in the USA, had been prompted to write the book after an
American professor had wondered how the Japanese imparted moral
education on their children if schools didn't offer any religious
instruction. The answer, Inazo realised, was through Bushido.
Bushido is the chivalric code of moral principles that the Samurai
followed: rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honour
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. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding and
with a timeless design, Bushido Illustrated: The Soul of Japan
includes the classic Inazo Nitobe text with a new introduction and
colourful illustrations throughout. It will appeal to anyone
interested in leadership, the code of the Samurai and Japanese
culture.
