Hello,
Someone I met online asked for these articles:
Hurst, G. Cameron. Death, Honor, and Loyality: The Bushido Ideal
Philosophy East and West > Vol. 40, No. 4, Understanding Japanese
Values (Oct., 1990), pp. 511-527
Friday, Karl F. Bushido- or Bull? A Medieval Historian's Perspective
on the Imperial Army and the Japanese Warrior Tradition The History
Teacher > Vol. 27, No. 3 (May, 1994), pp. 339-349
Colin Holmes; A. H. Ion Bushido- and the Samurai: Images in British
Public Opinion, 1894-1914 Modern Asian Studies > Vol. 14, No. 2
(1980), pp. 309-329
(the articles *should* be read after you have a familiarity with:
The Hagakure---"In the Shadow of Leaves", or "Hagakure Kikigaki"
or "The Analects of Nabeshima" or the "Hagakure Analects"---Yamamoto
Tsunetomo compiled by Tashiro Tsuramoto
The Book of the Five Rings---by Miyamoto Musashi
BUSHIDO--- by Inazo Nitobe)
because the articles WILL BLOW YOUR MIND on what you have been told
about bushido, and why it was "recreated" after 1868 and ofcourse
the purpose of reformulating the samurai ideal (thanks to the
Imperialistic Meiji Gov.)
