Description

"Bushido: The Soul of the Samurai, first published in 1905, is the classic introduction to samurai culture. Written by Inazo Nitobe, one of the foremost Japanese authors and educators of the time, this was the first book to explain samurai culture to Westerners in a way that was relatable. Nitobe described characteristics or virtues that are associated with bushido - honor, courage, justice, loyalty, self-control - and explained the philosophy behind how samurai were educated and trained; the connection between the sword and the samurai; ritual suicide; and the position of women in samurai culture. To this day, it's considered a must-read for understanding 'the soul of Japan' and the samurai ethos. This graphic novel revitalizes this classic book, bringing this groundbreaking work to a new audience."
