Beskrivelse
Discover the essence of Japanese chivalry through Inazo Nitobe's classic work, Bushido: The Soul of Japan. Written in 1900, this book explores the moral code that guided the Samurai, blending wisdom with warrior spirit.
An insightful look into the Samurai's code of ethics and its lasting influence.
Opening with the striking line, "Chivalry is a flower no less indigenous to the soil of Japan than cherry blossom," Nitobe introduces readers to Bushido, the ethical framework that shaped the Samurai's lives. Prompted by a question from an American professor about how Japanese children received moral education without religious instruction in schools, Nitobe revealed that Bushido was the answer.
This code encompasses virtues such as rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honour, and loyalty. Drawing inspiration from Confucianism, Shinto, and Zen Buddhism, Bushido balances the fierceness of a warrior with calm wisdom and serenity.
Alongside renowned works like Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Machiavelli's The Prince, this book has become a significant influence for military strategists and business leaders alike, offering guidance on leadership and overcoming challenges.
This edition is beautifully crafted in traditional Chinese binding, featuring a timeless design. It includes the original text by Inazo Nitobe, enhanced with a fresh introduction and vibrant illustrations throughout.
Bushido Illustrated: The Soul of Japan is perfect for anyone fascinated by leadership principles, the Samurai's ethical code, or Japanese culture in general.
