rjy22's review against another edition
5.0
A well-written book worthy of rereading again and again. Learning the history behind the concept of Bushido served to enhance my understanding and inspire me to adopt and apply its ideas to my own life. Will definitely be revisiting this book to better ruminate on its lessons.

Gave a vivid account of a seppuku ceremony and a surprising number of samurai anecdotes. Quite beautifully written.

Nitobe's text reveals (albeit longwindedly, though this is probably the result of the age of the work) a fair bit about the overarching framework that defined Japan under feudal arrangements, and still holds some sway today. It's interesting, though possibly only to those very interested in Japan, or in philosophy.
