Bushido

Description: Book written directly in English, by an erudite Japanese writer. Let’s not forget that in 1900 Japan had just emerged from the Meiji era, so it was in full accelerated transition from feudalism to capitalism, and traditional Japanese culture was exposed to remarkable tensions. Inazo Nitobe presents with a high dose of objectivity numerous reasons behind some aspects specific to the Japanese archipelago. Fascinating for those interested in the Japanese culture and who are open to martial arts, which were part of the backbone of a society led by samurai.

Year: 1900
