Bushido The Warriors Code by Inazo Nitobe |
bushido and the warriors codeinozo nitobe and warrior inner strengthThis was one of the first books I ever read about the Samurai Code, and I can still recall scratching my head in confusion. Where is all the the stuff about fighting. I wondered. I kept reading. By the time I was finished I had completely reevaluated what I thought a warrior should be. Though softened by turn of the century Victorian values ,it was written in 1899. I still recommend this book as an introduction to the finesse and ethics of Bushido. Now illustrated with authentic black-and-white photographs, this reprint of the 1889 original is perhaps the most complete study of samural life, written by a Victorian scholar.
