Just finished reading "Bushido: The Soul of Japan" by Inazo Nitobe, which is written in 1900. This book explains the way of samurai to non-Japanese people. The author was a scholar in education and lived in the US for decades. Have you ever wondered Japanese way of thinking is different or crooked from any other cultures? I understand the culture better after I read the history of it on this book. If you like Japanese literature or manga or anime, you'll enjoy this book. #bookworm #bibliophile #booklover #book #books #reading #reader #read #bookish #booktube #bookmark #bookhaul #bookstagram #booknerdigans #bookblogger #booklion #booknerd #bibliophile #bookworm #bookporn #goodreads #epicreads #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #igreads #booksph #bushido #inazonitobe #武士道 #新渡戸稲造 #manga #anime (at Burbank, California)

The writings of Confucius and Mencius formed the principal text-books for youths and the highest authority in discussion among the old. A mere acquaintance with the classics of these two sages was held, however, in no high esteem. A common proverb ridicules one who has only an intellectual knowledge of Confucius, as a man ever studious but ignorant of Analects. A typical samurai calls a literary savant a book-smelling sot. Another compares learning to an ill-smelling vegetable that must be boiled and boiled before it is fit for use. A man who has read a little smells a little pedantic, and a man who has read much smells yet more so; both are alike unpleasant. The writer meant thereby that knowledge becomes really such only when it is assimilated in the mind of the learner and shows in his character. An intellectual specialist was considered a machine. Intellect itself was considered subordinate to ethical emotion. Man and the universe were conceived to be alike spiritual and ethical. Bushido could not accept the judgment of Huxley, that the cosmic process was unmoral. Bushido made light of knowledge as such. It was not pursued as an end in itself, but as a means to the attainment of wisdom. Hence, he who stopped short of this end was regarded no higher than a convenient machine, which could turn out poems and maxims at bidding. Thus, knowledge was conceived as identical with its practical application in life; and this Socratic doctrine found its greatest exponent in the Chinese philosopher, Wan Yang Ming, who never wearies of repeating, "To know and to act are one and the same."
