JAPANESE LITERATURE

Book Features & Author Introduction

Bushido: The Classic Book to Understand the Japanese Spirit
Bushido remains an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the soul of the Japanese people.

Written in English by Inazo Nitobe—who later served as Under-Secretary General of the League of Nations—this timeless work explains the core of Japanese morality and ethics through the lens of bushido, the way of the samurai. Drawing on the teachings of Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucianism, Nitobe contrasts the samurai spirit with Western philosophy and chivalry, presenting a deeply insightful account of Japan’s moral foundation to the world.

President Theodore Roosevelt himself was deeply moved by the book, and it continues to inspire readers around the globe.

This edition features large, easy-to-read print and vocabulary notes for difficult words, making it accessible not only to foreign readers, but also to Japanese learners and those new to extensive reading.
