Features: The first Japanese student to introduce Bushido to the Western world was Inazo Nitobe (1862-1933). In 1899, the United States published "Bushido: The Soul of Japan," written in English by Inazo Nitobe, which immediately received a positive response and acclaim from the Western world. The English edition of "Bushido" was reprinted 10 times in the United States and the United Kingdom and was translated into multiple other languages such as German, Italian, French, Spanish, and more, becoming a classic work that introduced Bushido culture. 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.
