Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
The Code of the Samurai is a four-hundred-year-old explication of the rules and expectations embodied in Bushido, the Japanese way of the warrior. Bushido has played a major role in shaping the behavior of modern Japanese government, corporations, society, and individuals, as well as in shaping the modern martial arts within Japan and internationally. The Japanese original of this book has been one of the primary sources on the tenets of Bushido, a way of thought that remains fascinating to modern world, East and West.




Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Not only for the Martial Artist
While the premise of this work revolves around the code of the ancient Samurai warrior, there are lessons in politics, morals and personal interactions and communication. I recommend this book not only for those who understand the code and culture of martial arts.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
Cannot see any great spiritualism here.
Altogether a very disappointing experience.
A Karate Sensei has far more to offer.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Timeless
Take a peek into Japanese culture, and be amazed how this ancient text still applies to life today. You'll also learn a great deal about medieval Japan.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - An ancient book but still applicable to modern life
Code of the Samurai is a nice peek into Japanese culture, in under a hundred pages. It's amazing to see how such an ancient book can still be of use today, and how some things we consider 'common courtesy' have fundamental roots, and an actual reason.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Good
The author does a good job translating the text into modern day principles. Definitely a good read for those interested in Bushido and it's ideas.
