A historical account of the samurai code
First published in 1899, Nitobe Inazō’s account presents Bushido as a moral and ethical framework associated with the samurai of feudal Japan. It also considers the code’s significance beyond the warrior class, offering the author’s view of its place in Japanese culture and national character. The book’s interest lies in that connection between a particular social tradition and a broader idea of Japan, rather than in martial-arts instruction. This edition adds an easy-to-read layout; the supplied description gives no further detail about changes to the text.
