"Bushido, the Soul of Japan" by Inazo Nitobe is a book published in 1899 that explores the way of the samurai. Written originally in English, this influential work examines the seven core virtues of Japanese warrior culture: rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, and loyalty. Nitobe draws connections between samurai ethics and Western chivalry, tracing influences from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Shintoism. The book became a bestseller, shaping how Western readers understood Japanese culture, though later critics questioned its historical accuracy.
