Bushido Explained: The Japanese Samurai Code: A New Interpretation for Beginners

Description: Bushido Explained by Alexander Bennett, Baptiste Tavernier Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Bushido Explained Publisher Description This seminal work by historian Alexander Bennett presents a broad overview of the Japanese "Way of the Warrior" as it is expressed in scores of classical Japanese texts written by famous Samurai themselves. Bennetts analysis of these writings shows that the essential meaning of Bushido, the Samurais code of conduct and ethics, evolved significantly over time-from the 12th century when the warrior class was elevated to become an elite group, to the 19th century when the Samurai class was suddenly disbanded. Bushido Explained takes a visual approach to presenting important concepts and terminology, helping readers easily navigate the complex world of the Samurai. The text is written in a highly accessible style, with sidebars presenting interesting concepts, facts and important Samurai figures who were central to Bushidos evolution. The different types of Bushido-which vary by region, time period and Samurai rank-are presented with over 300 informative diagrams and illustrations. No other book offers such a wide-ranging, yet clear analysis of Bushido-debunking myths and misconceptions about who the Samurai truly were. Bushido Explained presents a precise overview of Samurai ideals and culture in a logical, chronological order.
