Bushido: The Soul of Japan by Inazō Nitobe

challenging informative inspiring slow-paced

4.25

I started reading this book when it was assigned during my Japanese Philosophy class in college two years ago, and finally sat down to spend more time with it on my own. It’s difficult to get through if you’re like me and are working through having a short attention span. Lots of philosophy/“I’m smart”-sounding jargon. But, it’s incredibly interesting (albeit misogynistic), with beautiful symbolism explained on what built the foundations of a country rich with culture and virtue.
