Inazo Nitobe’s Bushido: The Classic Portrait of Samurai Martial Culture (originally published as The Soul of Japan ) serves as a foundational text explaining the ethical and moral philosophy of the samurai to a Western audience, centering on seven virtues: Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Politeness, Sincerity, Honor, and Loyalty. While influencing views on Japanese culture, modern scholars like Antony Cummins suggest the work offers an idealized, "Westernized" perspective on the samurai code.
