About the Author Nitobe Inazo (September 1, 1862 October 15, 1933) was a Japanese agricultural economist, author, educator, diplomat, politician, and Christian during the pre-World War II period. Nitobe was born in Morioka, Mutsu Province (present-day Iwate Prefecture). His father was a retainer to the local daimyo of the Nambu clan. His infant name was Inanosuke. Nitobe left Morioka for Tokyo in 1871 to become the heir to his uncle, Ota Tokitoshi, and adopted the name Ota Inazo. He later reverted to Nitobe when his brothers died.

Pretty Good Intro to Bushido

Rated it 4 stars because it is a difficult book to read with references to authors in languages other than English. It is also a good idea to keep a good dictionary nearby as this reads like a treatise with many words outside of my vocabulary. That being said, I plan on reading this a few times to give it full justice and get as much out of it as possible. This is the first time I have delved into the history of Japan.

No frontmatter

Felt kind of cool getting a printed to order book. Didn't include much of the front matter though. Its available elsewhere and offers important context for the book.
