武士道起源于古代日本,当时限定于武士阶级遵守的原则,却逐渐渗透到了不同的阶层,成为很多日本人潜意识的行为准则。它虽然没有任何可见的实体形态,但它却使日本人一直处于它的强烈影响下。日本国际政治活动家、农学家、教育家新渡户稻造所著《武士道》一书阐释了武士道精神的内核以及它长久而持续的生命力。虽然有片面为军国主义辩护的嫌疑,却也是研究武士道精神绕不过的著作。 Bushido originated in ancient Japan, was limited to the principle of compliance with the samurai class, but gradually penetrated into different strata, as many Japanese unconscious code of conduct. Although it has no visible physical form, it has kept the Japanese under its strong influence. The book Bushido, by Japanese political activist, agronomist and educator Hatsuo Tobu, illustrates the core of Bushido spirit and its long-lasting vitality. Although there is one-sided defiance of militarism, it is also a study of Bushido’s spirit.
