Samurai fascinate. They are the archetype of the warrior and of nobility of spirit. Subject to a code of honor and implacable values, they are the representatives of a chivalry that sublimates heroism and masculine values.
In this work written at the beginning of the 20th century, Inazo Nitobe recalls the history of the samurai, their culture, their initiation, their rigorous training, and explains the seven fundamental values that constitute Bushido, the samurai code of honor.
These values still structure Japanese society and the soul today: justice, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, loyalty.
Bushido: The Code of the Samurai - The Soul of Japan by Inazo Nitobe is a classic. It is an essential guide to understanding the samurai spirit and the culture of Japan today.
