<The way of the Samurai is death.> Loyalty: the attitude of risking one's life to convey one's way of thinking to the wrong way of thinking of one's lord. Loyalty was not something that was forced upon the samurai, but something that was voluntary. In Bushido, one dies beautifully with these things in mind. #harakiri

〜both the literary and military arts〜 A samurai is a man of letters and a man of martial arts, studying both arts. For the Samurai, the way of literature and the way of martial arts are like two wheels on one wheel. Samurai honor, which believes that the way of literature and the way of martial arts are two sides of the same coin, aims at the path of both literature and martial arts through two experiences: Samurai tea ceremony and Samurai calligraphy. The spirit of the Samurai is a way of life and death, a way of letting go of attachment to life and living in this lifetime. Through Samurai honor, students acquire the spirit of Bushido.
