BUSHIDO: The Way of the Warrior Samurai Code FULL AudioBook - The Soul of Japan by Inazo Nitobe Not sure if anyone else hears this, but in the first two chapters particularly, the author seems to see Bushido as lesser than Christianity. My take is that the organic emergence of Bushido is superior to the text based religions of the Middle East. Give me principles to live by that live with me in the world today, not Bronze Age texts that force me to apply obsolete moral beliefs, principles and behaviors.

I would be lying if I said that there were not distracting pronunciation errors. (ben-volence = comical. Also, the book itself I had some high hopes for, and now realize it is half insecurities edging or defending itself against western concepts and ideas, and half superior-isms which have proven untrue in the mass atrocities committed in WWII, or have proven untrue today in the flaccid ability to follow oaths (to no longer have an offensive military, etc. Finally, the author’s understanding of Christianity is about as deep as my understanding of nihon, not very. This was in a word, garbage. A weak history, a weaker presentation of something that was probably once amazing and beautiful.

I, just recently, started to embrace the values that I have always wanted and tried to practice. After decades of thinking I was wrong, I spent other decades. Long story short, I feel like I have achieved almost everything I ever wanted like. Shit . Your perfect and the entire universe is perfect and don't you for. Wait! remember that. Now even lm confused.

Why is a woman speaking for a book for War. I cant listen to this. Draining and uninspiring, she has a nice voice but War is the realm of men. A man who knows of combat should only be used to voice this book. To inspire other men and to give meaning feeling to each sentence.
90% of women are not suitable to audiobook this unless thats their target audience.

3: 33: 41 African savage's. There it is! One thing I have noticed as an African, we always talk about America and racism. Those people haven't had the oriental experience which is much MUCH worse! I love Japan, but il be damed if they ain't racist as Fu%. I mean 1960 or 80's kinda racist!

Is it just me.
Or does this presentation start by telling us THIS.
Is the 10th edition of BUSHIDO: The way of the warrior.
To suddenly refer to BUSHIDO: The SOUL of JAPAN!
I was interested in the Original!
Not someone else's views on the subject!

reply

To be clear, this was written after Japan had entered the Meiji era. It's akin to someone in the Napoleonic Wars writing nostalgically about Western European chivalry during the Medieval dark ages.

Holy Smokes and Lands Alive; I could use some help here! Any American-Euro Person 50 New England Esoteric Mystic with whom I might be able to relate Platonically please. yes really

Lord Russell's 'Knight of Bushido' offers a shocking counter balance to this eulogising of Japanese fascism - often mentioned at the various War Crime Trials post-1945.

I thought this was going to help me with the fear accompanying my present trouser definition. Hours in I'm totally gonna recommend this to all for any
reply

Fun fact: Inazo Nitobe dedicated his book Bushido - The Soul of Japan to the Polish nation, he called them Samurai nation of the West!

I love the reading. I got a little sidetracked when Ben Volence showed up in feudal Japan. Powered thru. with be-ne-vo-lence.
reply

Is there a version of this with better English pronunciation I really don't understand all the people praising 'her clear voice; .: (
reply

Yeah much honor, fair play, even ground, equal opportunity, same footing, and balanced playing field yeah

Legend has it that after he read this book, Ghost Dog went up to the roofs and practice his art.

You can clearly see that most people ran around bare feet in Japan well into 17th Century.
