reviewed Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion: Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Zen on January 26, 2016 Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion
Gives a waaay too rosy picture of the "modern samurai," but at least the old ideals and history are well and shortly put. Almost every chapter ends with a notion of how the Western world should follow the Japanese, but the comparison doesn't seem fair without really discussing the cost of Bushi-do. The only things good are the Japanese terms for certain phenomena associated with the samurai and their correct meanings (I only assume, didn't check). One point for readability also. Maybe a good book for getting a rough general idea but don't take every sentence seriously... I've seen what the practice there really is.
