      Bushido: Die Seele Japans

      Leinen mit Goldprägung

      Der sogenannte Weg des Kriegers, Bushidō, der im Westen häufig als Synonym für japanisches Rittertum verwendet wird, ist ein Kind der Meiji-Zeit (1868–1912), die einen radikalen Umbruch der japanischen Gesellschaft und des Staatswesens herbeiführte. Das Werk gibt nicht nur Einblick in das Leben der Kriegerklasse vergangener Zeiten, sondern liefert dem interessierten Leser wertvolle Hinweise zum Verständnis japanischer Lebensart und Denkweise, die auch heute noch in dieser Form anzutreffen sind und nicht zwingend auf den Kriegerstand beschränkt sind.
