	Inazo Nitobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inazo Nitobe (新渡戸稲造; Nitobe Inazō, September 1, 1862 - October 15, 1933) was a Christian Japanese agriculturist, philosopher, educator and international political activist from Morioka, Iwate.
		Nitobe was in the third class of the Sapporo Agricultural Institute and was no doubt influenced by the teachings of Dr. William S. Clark, though they never personally crossed paths.
		He was a vice-minister of the League of Nations, and also was the initiator of the Tokyo Woman's Christian University.

	International Cooperative Information Center: Dr. Inazo Nitobe and Co-operatives (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Inazo Nitobe and Co-operatives by Yoshiro Takahashi As an introduction before taking up the main theme of this article, an overview of the state and background in which Japanese co-operatives of those days found themselves is warranted.
		Inazo Nitobe was born in 1862 into a warrior class family as a third son, in Morioka in the Tohoku Region of Northern Japan.
		Nitobe's speech was a success, because of his thorough understanding of the strong bond holding Rochdale and its co-operatives together, and as soon as he mentioned that, when he first came to England in 1887, he had brought a letter of introduction to be presented to John Bright, a thunder of applause resonated.

	The Iaido Newsletter: Inazo Nitobe
		Inazo Nitobe was born in August of 1862, before the fall of the samurai class.
		The year Inazo was born was the first rice harvest in Towada and because his father was so happy, he named his son Inazo (one of the kanji in his name is an old Chinese kanji relating to rice).
		Inazo himself eventually converted to Quakerism as he thought it was similar to Samurai ethics (FN1).

		Nitobe's father, Jujiro Nitobe, had been the best friend of the last Shogun, deposed by the return of the Emperor to effective control, after Perry opened up Japan to Western ideas.
		Inazo Nitobe was in law school when the Emperor's emissary came and said that Japan did not need culture, it had plenty of culture.
		Nitobe later wrote a perfectly charming memoir, called "Reminiscences of Childhood in the Early days of Modern Japan", which dramatizes in just a few pages just how wide the cultural gap was.

	Nitobe Inazo
		When reading illustrations of Nitobe's apparent blindness towards the Ainu during his studies at Sapporo, and his ignorant views of Ainu culture and ways to deal with them colonially, I couldn't help but have a strong negative reaction to him.
		I don't think Nitobe came up with this idea himself, it was probably held by many men of his day; Japan was in a hard situation, and it couldn't back down.
		Nitobe, like many people of his day, and of the present day as well, failed to realize that generalizations are generally, but not always, true.

		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 discusses the 'ultra-Spartan' young samurai training, the position of women, and (hardest for westerners to understand) the 'Institutions of Suicide and Redress'.
		Nitobe talks of the Japanese tradition of enormous respect for a teacher who develops 'character and not intelligence', 'the soul and not the head'.

		Initially, the new Bushido had no written text that could help in making it understood to foreigners, and it was to meet this need that Inazo Nitobe,(1862-1933), Japanese diplomat, educator and Quaker, wrote this book which remains the best introduction to the study of Bushido and Japanese thought generally.
		Nitobe presents Bushido not just as a martial discipline, but as a pervasive system of ethics and morals and a living school of thought, life and ideals that can draw strength from the past to advance the present and future.
		Inazo Nitobe (1822-1933) was an educator, a cultural interpreter, a civil servant, and one of the earliest and most famous of the Japanese Quakers.

	E-Budo.com - Recomendation for a Book on Bushido
		Apparently Nitobe knew more about western history and values than he did Japanese and was" the least qualified Japanese of his age to have been informing anyone of Japan's history and culture."
		Nitobe's bushido, as Joseph Svinth has pointed out, was largely based on western religious values, not on any universal samurai "code".
		You also might try http://www.najc.ca/nexus/, as Nitobe died in British Columbia (there is a memorial on the UBC campus), and I seem to recall there being some mention of all that somewhere in the history section.

		It hardly needs reiteration that Inazo Nitobe is an important figure in the history of Hokkaido University.
		This, or, at least, to make a detailed investigation into the 'Inazo Nitobe Library' kept by our University Library and to make valuable informations contained in it available to people interested in Nitobe -- this we think is a duty due to our university.
		Various marks such as underlines and side-lines and also marginal notes drawn and written by Nitobe himself are to be found in some books, which might be of a great use for future Nitobe studies.

	“Japan’s Bridge Over the Pacific: Reflections on Nitobe Inazo and Globalization”
		While in the United States, Nitobe had become a Quaker, and on his way back to Japan in 1891 he married Mary Elkinton, the daughter of a leading Philadelphia Quaker businessman. Nitobe had met her when he studied in Baltimore.
		When the book was first introduced to President Roosevelt by a Japanese friend from his Harvard days, the president was so impressed with its prose and its contents that he bought another 30 copies and distributed them to his cabinet members, other colleagues, friends and acquaintances, and urged them to read it.
		What does Nitobe’s legacy teach us about the challenges we face in the age globalization? Essentially globalization challenges us to re-examine our lifestyle, our individual values, and our collective, communal values. Globalization both unites and divides us. At the same time that it brings us closer, globalization also diversifies us.
