Bushido – The Soul of Japan by Inazo Nitobé, published in 1900, is a classic exploration of Bushido, the moral and ethical code that guided Japan’s samurai warriors. Nitobé outlines seven key virtues of Bushido: rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty. These principles served as the foundation for the samurai way of life during Japan’s feudal era.
The book also provides historical context, tracing the origins and evolution of Bushido, and offers a comparative analysis with Western chivalry, highlighting the universal nature of noble values and principles. Nitobé’s work had a significant impact on Western understanding of Japanese culture in the early 20th century, contributing to the fascination with Japan in the West during that period.
