Book Features & Author Introduction

The Spirit of Japan, Honored Worldwide.

The renowned thinker and educator, Inazo Nitobe, wrote Bushido: The Soul of Japan to explain the core moral values of the Japanese people. Drawing upon Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucianism principles, Nitobe compares these teachings with Western philosophy and chivalry to present a unique perspective on the Japanese spirit.

This classic work was written in English by Nitobe himself, who was committed to helping the world understand Japan. He wrote it as the Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Nations before World War II, driven by a sense of responsibility to share the Japanese ethos with the world. Bushido is considered essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the Japanese heart and soul.

The book moved many, including the U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, who was deeply impressed by its insights.
