From the Publisher
Bushido: The Samurai Code of Japan is an essential guide to the essence of Japanese culture
The Moral Code of Warriors
Nitobe believed that connecting Bushido with other moral teachings could make an important contribution to humanity--and that the way of the Samurai is not only of value to the Japanese but to the entire race.
The Seven Core Values
