'Bushido' literally translates as 'the way of the Samurai', which forms the basis of this highly acclaimed work on the relations between modern Japanese cultural values and the country's ancient warrior codes. Important virtues such as courage, loyalty and self-control are explored against a background of Samurai heritage, whilst simultaneously considering the influence of other philosophies. This world-renowned book represents the first and the most influential text on Japanese cultural heritage to be so eloquently written in English.

Inazo Nitobe (1862-1933) was descended from a Samurai family on the island of Honshu. Nitobe rose to fame for his work as an agricultural sugar expert and later became leader of the Japanese delegation to the League of Nations in Geneva. Holding strong Quaker beliefs, Nitobe was an influential advocate for positive US-Japanese relations and through his work and teachings sought to become a 'bridge across the Pacific Ocean'.
