This beautiful slipcased edition presents The Way of the Samurai,
bound in luxurious silk and brought to life with stunning Japanese
artwork.
In this classic work, Inazo Nitobe explores the moral code of the
Japanese warrior class. Originally published as Bushido: The Soul of
Japan, Nitobe's engaging text covers everything from the importance of
politeness rituals to the ultimate chilling self-sacrifice: hara-kiri
or suicide - conjuring up a world of chivalric principles and brutal
warfare.
This deluxe collector's edition is presented with a gold foil stamping
and full-color illustrations throughout. It also features an
introduction by John Baldock who explores the resonance of Samurai
culture in modern Japanese society and around the globe.
Fitting perfectly into a decorative slipcase, this edition makes a
wonderful gift for any lover of Japanese culture.
