Bushido, also known as the samurai code, is a set of moral principles that guided the warriors of ancient Japan. This code, rooted in a deep ethic influenced by the ideas of Confucius and Mencius, is not based on an individual figure, but on the organic development of the military behaviors of the samurai over the centuries. This book explores this code in depth, offering a clear vision of the values that sustained the samurai and their impact on ancient Japanese society.
