Today, let's talk about Bushido.
Chivalry is a flower that is just as indigenous to Japan as its emblem, the cherry blossom.
In fact,
'Bu-shi-do' literally means 'Military-Knight-Ways.'
Bushido is characterised by:
-Honor
-Courage
-Justice
-Loyalty
-Self Control
(THREAD!)
Bushido is the core moral principles that the Japanese Samurai were instructed to observe. It is not a written code.
..At best, it consists of a few sayings. More frequently it is a code, unuttered and unwritten.
Possessing all the more powerful force of practical deed.
