Meer over het boek

Chivalry in Japan is portrayed as a living force, akin to the cherry blossom, rather than a relic of the past. Despite the disappearance of the societal conditions that nurtured it, chivalry continues to influence the moral landscape, reminiscent of distant stars that still shine despite being gone. The author reflects on this enduring quality, drawing inspiration from Burke's poignant tribute to European chivalry, suggesting that its essence remains vital and impactful in contemporary society.
