		He joined with his peers in sneering at the New Bushido as a code for faggots, but an ancient vein of honor in the young Kassad's soul secretly resonated to the thought of a samurai class whose life and work revolved around duty, self-respect, and the ultimate value of one's sword.
		It was the ultimate violation of the New Bushido, worse in its way than the wanton destruction of civilians.
		The essence of honor lay in the moment of combat between equals.

	BookLoons Reviews - Bushido by Inazo Nitobe
		Though the author, Inazo Nitobe, speaks to us in 'a borrowed tongue', he has more than mastered it, and is also well versed in English, French and German literature, to all of which he makes reference in explaining the 'moral precepts' he inhaled as a child, the 'Ethical System' that is Bushido.
		Nitobe talks of the Japanese tradition of enormous respect for a teacher who develops 'character and not intelligence', 'the soul and not the head'.
		Nitobe discusses the 'ultra-Spartan' young samurai training, the position of women, and (hardest for westerners to understand) the 'Institutions of Suicide and Redress'.

	The City Paper - Smart, Fast, Free
		Stevens is also very encouraged with what he sees and hears in his native state, saying that Mayday is among a number of modern bands coming out of the area that are influenced as much by literature and film as music.
		Despite what the title of their third CD Bushido Karaoke (Saddle Creek) might suggest, Nebraska rockers Mayday neither recorded the disc in Japan nor devoted the entire project to an examination of traditional Asian customs or mythology.
		While clearly in the contemporary rock vein musically, Mayday's songs sometimes discuss such cheery subjects as dismemberment, devotion that borders on obsession, materialism and addiction.

	Chivalry is a flower
		Arthur May Knapp very truly says: "In Hebrew literature it is often difficult to tell whether the writer is speaking of God or of the Commonwealth; of heaven or of Jerusalem; of the Messiah or of the nation itself."[6] A similar confusion may be noticed in the nomenclature of our national faith.
		This religion—or, is it not more correct to say, the race emotions which this religion expressed?—thoroughly imbued Bushido with loyalty to the sovereign and love of country.
		The spiritual significance of social decorum,—or, I might say, to borrow from the vocabulary of the "Philosophy of Clothes," the spiritual discipline of which etiquette and ceremony are mere outward garments,—is out of all proportion to what their appearance warrants us in believing.

	Session 110
		The term joryû bungaku (women’s literature) is premised on the belief that the newly created norm, "bungaku," was the intellectual pursuit of men, and the writing of women was more of an emotional bent.
		The construction of a hegemonic masculinity through the trope of bushido and samurai spirit will be the focus of Michele Mason’s talk.
		The work of Higuchi Ichiyô and Shimizu Shikin is indicative of different narrative and language styles employed in the development of the novel.
