{"product_id":"bushido-the-soul-of-japan-inazo-nitob-9781935785965","title":"Bushido, the Soul of Japan","description":"Bushido, The Soul of Japan is, along with the classic text Hagakure by Tsunetomo Yamamoto, a study of the way of the samurai. A best-seller in its day, it was read by many influential foreigners, among them President Theodore Roosevelt, President John F. Kennedy and Robert Baden-Powell. It may well have shaped Baden-Powell's ideas on the Boy Scout movement he founded. As Japan underwent deep transformations of its traditional lifestyle while forging into a modern nation, Nitobe engaged in an inquiry into the ethos of his nation, and the result of his meditations was this seminal work. A fine stylist in English, he wrote many books in that language, which earned him a place among the best known Japanese writers of his age. He found in Bushido, the Way of the Warrior, the sources of the virtues most admired by his people: rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, loyalty and self-control. His approach to his task was eclectic and far-reaching. Nitobe Inazō was a Japanese agricultural economist, author, educator, diplomat, politician, and Christian during Meiji and Taishō period Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Inazo Nitobé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935785966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935785965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bottom of the Hill Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Inazo Nitobé","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937587790079,"sku":"9781935785965","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1fef4275-6d7f-4424-8d0e-338384105f40.jpg?v=1681430932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bushido-the-soul-of-japan-inazo-nitob-9781935785965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
