Way of the Samurai Paperback Book
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
Chivalry is a flower no less indigenous to the soil of Japan than its emblem, the cherry blossom nor is it a driedup specimen of an antique virtue preserved in the herbarium of our history. It is still a living object of power and beauty among us. To many people, the word samurai conjures images of menacing masks, long blades and elaborate armour. However, this classic text by Inazo Nitobe reveals the greater depths to samurai culture they were not simply warriors but an aristocratic class who practiced literary and military arts in equal measure. Essential to this way of life was the samurais moral code and the quality of bushido, roughly translated as chivalry. The Way of the Samurai provides an intriguing exploration of bushido and other valued qualities such as rectitude or justice, courage, politeness, veracity, honour, loyalty and selfcontrol. It also explores the Samurais more violent traditions, such as the chilling act of harakiri or selfimmolation. This mixture of chivalric principles with brutal warfare is fascinating. While many aspects of Samurai culture have disappeared, its principles still have resonance in modern Japanese society and around the globe.ABOUT THE SERIES The Arcturus Classics series brings together highquality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.
