Features: Inazo Nitobe, one of the earliest Japanese students to study abroad, was the first to introduce Japanese Bushido to the Western world. In 1899, the United States published "Bushido: The Soul of Japan," written by Inazo Nitobe in English, which immediately received a positive response and acclaim from the Western world. The English version of "Bushido" was reprinted 10 times in the United States and the United Kingdom and was translated into various other languages such as German, Italian, French, Spanish, and more, becoming a classic work that introduced the culture of Bushido. Nitobe also became a pioneer of modern Japanese intellectual and cultural thought due to his book "Bushido." Today, Inazo Nitobe's portrait is printed on the 5,000 yen banknotes issued in Japan.
