{"product_id":"bushido-the-spirit-of-the-samurai-shambhala-library","title":"Bushido: The Spirit of the Samurai (Shambhala Library)","description":"There are eight virtues of Bushido, the code of the samurai: justice, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, loyalty, and self-control. These virtues comprise the essence of Japanese cultural beliefs, which are still present today.\n\nInazo Nitobe, one of Japan's most respected scholars, explores the ethical code of the samurai and contextualizes it within Japan's traditions of Buddhism, Shintoism, and Confucianism. He then compares and contrasts Eastern values with those present in Western societies. Written in English and first published in 1905, this classic introduction to Japan's samurai culture has been a best-seller for decades. Focus on Asian Studies says it is \"a must for an understanding of the soul of Japan.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1590302907\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1590302907.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nitobe, Inazo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
