Summary
"For almost 700 years, shoguns ruled Japan. These ""gentlemen warriors"" developed a system of honor that Taira Shigesuke first recorded in his 16th-century book - Bushido Shoshinshu. Presented to a modern audience in clear, flowing English, this new translation captures both the majesty and usefulness of this time-honored guide for living.From principles concerning loyalty and love to rules regarding duty, personal devotion, and even money management, this book sets forth the guidelines that defined Japan's ""way of the warrior"" and are still highly respected in modern Japan. Honor and obligation are emphasized above all to the reader, who is taught that a samurai is expected to be indifferent to pain, true to his beliefs, and adept in all pursuits."
