BUSHIDO
No one need be deceived by the Japanese professions of chivalrous conduct according to what they term the centuries old code of Bushido, writes William Firth. This is what the late Professor Chamberlain once wrote*. “So modern a thing is Bushido that neither Kaempfer, Siebold, Satow, nor Rein, all men knowing their Japan by heart, ever allude to it in their voluminous writings. The cause of their silence is not far to seek. Bushido was unknown until a decade or two ago. The very word appears in no dictionary, native or foreign, before 1900.
