the moral teachers of old Japan and

became transformed into ain ethical
religion known as Bushido, the way OF
a warrior. It's central principle was
loyalty. Obedience of the inferior to
the superior was the key-word. AS

differs from it's Chinese aspect in the
heroic military spirit that pervades the
whole, in exalting loyalty over fila
piety and in ascribing to loyalty and
