3 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
A graphic novel version of the classic book that first introduced Westerners to the samurai ethos. This graphic novel version of the cult classic Bushido brings the timeless secrets of the samurai to life. Originally published in 1905, Bushido was the first book to introduce Westerners to the samurai ethos. Written by Inazo Nitobe, one of the foremost Japanese authors and educators of the time, it describes the characteristics and virtues that are associated with bushido--honor, courage, justice, loyalty, self-control--and explains the philosophy behind how samurai were educated and trained; the connection between the sword and the samurai; seppuku; and the position of women in samurai culture; among other themes. To this day,Bushido is considered a must-read for anyone who wants to understanding the soul of Japan and navigate their world with integrity and honor.

Bushido the Soul of Japan: Illustrated | Inazo Nitobe, Blago Kirov

This book was very informative but not at all what I was expecting it to be though I‘m not sure what exactly I was expecting...

If you want a book about the karate fighting spirit that does not reduce a woman‘s role to sacrificing her beauty and her own life for the sake of the life and honour of men, you better not read this book. If you want to read a graphic novel version of the History and Fundamentals of the Bushido mindset, read this book. As a Sensei and woman, this was a important and brutal read. Thank goodness for this new era and to never going back.

Took a ride over to a well-reviewed #indie bookstore called Inkwood Books this morning. It's charming and has a carefully curated selection of books. My suitcase is already heavy, so I had to control my spending. The best part is I found books there that I doubt I'd have found at home. And some temptations for later purchase. Plus, they had a unique selection of greeting cards. I had to get Mr. B his Valentine! #goindie
