"Bushido" is a book originally published in English to introduce Japanese moral values to the world.
It is filled with valuable teachings—such as the attitude of truly valuing others—that are essential even for us today, in an era that places too much emphasis on efficiency.
Let’s learn the essence of this book together with Peckle the Duck!
"Bushido" is a book written in English by
Inazo Nitobe,
who was born the son of a samurai,
but during the Bakumatsu and Meiji Restoration,
found himself compelled to radically change his way of life.
He pursued his studies to become an educator
and eventually rose to become a global figure,
serving as Deputy Secretary-General of the League of Nations.
At that time, following Japan’s victory in the First Sino-Japanese War,
the world’s attention was turning to Japan,
a country that had previously been largely unknown.
So Nitobe believed
that to help the world understand the Japanese people,
it would be best to introduce
the traditional spirit that dwells in their hearts—
in other words, the “samurai spirit.”
Centered on the seven teachings of
“Righteousness,” “Courage,” “Benevolence,” “Courtesy,”
“Sincerity,” “Honor,” and “Loyalty,”
he introduces the Japanese mindset,
and these teachings are all
essential for us living in the modern world as well.
Join Peckle the Duck
as we learn a way of thinking
that involves truly empathizing with others
while also taking care of our own minds and bodies!
The 13th installment in the popular “Ichigo Keywords” series.
