Bushido, the Soul of Japan
Inazo Nitobe
When Nitobe was asked how Japan taught right and wrong without formal moral instruction in schools, his answer became a famous study. Bushido traces the samurai code through rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, veracity, honor, and loyalty, comparing knightly Japan with chivalric Europe. Written in polished English for Western readers in 1900. The soul of a nation explained by one of its most cosmopolitan sons.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
