武士道 - BUSHIDO:

MILITARY AND MODERN SOCIO-CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

Jayson Gold-Pambianchi History 520: Historical Lenses September 14, 2018

I come to this place of my ancestors. And I remember.. these blossoms, we are all dying. To know life in every breath. Every cup of tea. Every life we take. That is the way of the warrior... That is Bushido. 1 - J. Logan At the heart of every culture, there resides a deep historical connection between ritualistic spiritualism and tradition. Who are our people? Where do we come from? How do our ways define the past and present? Shall the lessons and traditions of the past shape our future? To explicate how manifestations of ancient history alter how we live today and contribute to the world of tomorrow, one can analyze the ancient code of honor and morals developed by the Japanese Samurai. Since the days of the Kamakura Shogunate near a millennium ago, the “way of the warrior” has been an integral part of Japanese culture. 2 While aspects of this code of honor have influenced the Japanese people in a myriad of ways, comprehension of Bushido’s relevance to Japanese history through military and socio-cultural lenses is prudent. To fully ascertain the breadth and significance of Bushido, we must assess the ethical schools which have influenced it. Historiographical identification of ancient traditions will further emphasize how generations of historians, philosophers and Samurai have interpreted Bushido differently, bridging modern perceptions on the warrior code. Moreover, it must be accentuated that Bushido has become a vital aspect of the Japanese psyche since its origins in the early 2nd millennium, accomplished through chronicling its morphologies and adaptations. 3 Evidence shall reveal that this code of honor is not merely an aspect of Japan’s past. Bushido has been persevered throughout the ages and still exists in new forms to benefit Japanese culture. Data suggests that Bushido shall

principles. Japanese warrior culture of the time was not only dominated by expectations of martial skill, but by ideals of honor, valor and loyalty to one’s military cohort, family, social environment and rulers. 9 Military virtues lead to practices like ritual suicide known as ‘seppuku’ (切腹: translating to "cutting the belly"). Although rivalries which stemmed from families vying for power was a formidable contributor to the rapid expansion of the warrior class, external invasions of Japan and inter- factional struggles further galvanized this phenomenon. In 1274 and 1281, Japanese warriors successfully repelled Mongolian invasions of Japan. 10 However, the financial hardships brought about by military expenditures from these events lead to political instability throughout the Shogunate. 11 This rift culminated in Emperor Go-Daigo’s revolution of 1331 and ushered in the Muromachi Period from 1333 to 1573; dominated by governmental power stemming from the city of Kyoto. 12 By the mid-16th century, several of Japan’s most powerful warlords began to vie for supremacy over territories amidst the Kyoto government’s waning power. With Kyoto’s capture by the warlord Oda Nobunaga in 1573, the Muromachi period concluded. 13 Despite the war-torn culmination of this era and the birth of the Edo period, Samurai codes of conduct continued to extend beyond the realms of warfare. Forms of Bushido-related Zen Buddhism and Confucianism also emerged during this period. 14 A Samurai adhering to Bushido-like codes was expected to live a just and ethical social life; honoring the practices of the gentry in the absence of military campaigns. 15

Edo-Tokugawanate Japan: Manifestation of the Bushido Culture After centuries of warfare, texts referencing an exclusive warrior class code of conduct surfaced in Edo Japan. Documents like the Kōyō Gunkan (completed in 1616), were primarily written to record the military deeds of noble families. Yet, the manuscript also contains accounts of Confucian scholars and Samurai retainers that discuss Bushido ideals. 16 The Kōyō Gunkan provides evidence of postulations on the importance and significance of relationships between Samurai and the direct ethical connection they held with ruling Shoguns. 17 While the Kōyō Gunkan marks the first recorded reference to Bushido by name, it is not considered the most formidable historical document characterizing this code of conduct. As Bushido is a code of behavior, there is no single set of principles regarded as ‘true’ or ‘false’, but rather varying perceptions widely regarded as formidable throughout different centuries. Emphasized by Thomas Cleary, “Confucianism, Buddhism, and Shinto were each represented by a variety of schools, and elements of all three were commonly combined in Japanese culture and customs. As the embodiment of Samurai culture, Bushido is correspondingly diverse, drawing selectively on elements of all these traditions to articulate the ethos and discipline of the warrior.” 18 Edo-Tokugawanate Bushido Perspectives One of the most debatably comprehensive sources that defines Edo period militaristic perceptions on the Bushido code is The Hagakure, composed in the 18th century by Tsuramoto Tashiro (in representation of Tsunetomo Yamamoto). Emphasized by Minoru Tanaka in Bushido The Way of The Samurai , Yamamoto was a member of the Nabeshima Clan and personal attendant of Lord Mitsushige Nabeshima. Yamamoto devoted thirty years of his life to servicing

warrior to strive for personal excellence in society. Indicated by Cleary, “Yamaga Sokō wrestled with this peculiar problem of cultivating the capacities of war and peace in an integrated personality.... The Way of the Knight expands on this comprehensive concept of the Samurai way constituting a model of all-around personal development.” 25 In opposition of Yamamoto’s summarization on the “Essence of Bushido,” Sokō states, “generally speaking, the role of [Samurai] knights is in being personally conscientious, completely loyal in public service for a ruler, faithful in association with friends, and individually circumspect, concentrating on duty.” 26 Although Sokō and Yamamoto hold some ethical principles in high regard, Sokō stresses the optimal value of Samurai duties in social and cultural aspects of life over veneration through militarism and death. The Seven Virtues Evaluating the dichotomy between Yamamoto and Sokō’s perceptions of Bushido are advantageous to grasp the breadth of the warrior code. However, more recent interpretations of Bushido can be referred to for their acute categorizations of virtue. Published in the early 20th century by Inazō Nitobe, Bushido: The Soul of Japan identifies the ‘Seven Virtues’ to which Samurai adhered. In sequence, the virtues are “rectitude (gi), courage (yu), benevolence (jin), politeness (rei), honesty (sei), honor (meiyo), and loyalty (chugi).” 27 Utilized by Samurai to expedite mastery of self-control and discipline, the virtues lie at the heart of modern perceptions regarding Samurai practices. Further diverging from the earlier work of Yamamoto and Sokō, Nitobe proclaims Buddhism and Shintoism to be the progenitor religions of Bushido thought. 28 Nitobe contrastively expresses, “What Buddhism failed to give, Shintoism offered in abundance. 2526 Cleary, 31. Thomas, Cleary, Samurai Wisdom: Lessons from Japan’s Warrior Culture; Five Classic Texts on Bushido. Vermont: Tuttle Publishing, 2009. 35. 27 Inazō Nitobe, “Bushido: The Soul of Japan.” [Auckland, N.]: The Floating Press, 2008. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost), EBSCOhost (accessed August 30, 2018). 28 Nitobe, 20.

Such loyalty to the sovereign, such reverence for ancestral memory, and such filial piety as are not taught by any other creed, were inculcated by the Shinto doctrines, imparting passivity to the otherwise arrogant character of the samurai.” 29 In comprehension of how these codices on warrior conduct have been recently interpreted and relate to socio-cultural practices, modern historiographical data on Bushido may be investigated. Diverse Traditional Interpretations In correlation with discussion on the variance between Yamamoto’s Hagakure and the doctrines of Confucian Bushido, 20th century historians discuss the prevalence of these Bushido conceptualizations during the Tokugawa period. John Newman stipulates in the 1989 publication Bushido The Way of The Warrior, that Confucian and Buddhist-centered Bushido was far more dominant a practice among the Samurai warrior class as opposed to what he titles as Yamamoto’s militaristic “Fanatical Bushido”. 30 Despite Newman’s blunt terminology in reference to the Hakagure , he interprets Bushido as characterized by a diverse range of practices, not comprehended through one overarching set of principles. To supplement his explanation, Newman stresses the contributions of 14th century Zen Bushido to Tokugawanate cultural behavior. According to Newman, Zen Bushido’s chief components center on, “an experience of passing through death while in this very life, giving the inspiration to live life fully as there was no shrinking from death... in the ordinary way a Samurai would free from fear of death and would be vigorous and live long.” 31 Congruent with Sokō’s Confucian doctrine, Zen Bushido paragoned the avoidance of militaristic sacrifice and death, thus contributing towards cultural adaptations of Bushido in society as opposed to militaristic centralization.

teachings of the Sages of the Orient with an emphasis on Confucian learning’ and to providing ‘special focus on researching the Japanese ethnic spirit.” 37 Brown has not only determined that Confucian Bushido evolved from its original teachings into the modern era, but should be applied to 19th century perceptions of sociocultural morals and behaviors in Japan. Newman and Ames’ works represent recent interpretations on Bushido. Though their exemplifications of the Way of The Warrior differ, both demonstrate modern alternative thought concerning the subject. Despite their insight into 20th century conceptualizations of Tokugawanate Bushido and 19th century applications of Confucian Bushido, they do not identify historiographical data discussing modern militaristic adaptations. To better exemplify how the Warrior Code has been exhibited in 20th century warfare, we may consult documents that examine Bushido’s prevalence during World War II. Modern Military Contributions The Archaeology of World War II Japanese Stragglers on the Island of Guam and the Bushido Code by Dixon, Gilda and Bulgrin conveys how military tactics and the behavior of Imperial Japanese soldiers reflect tenants of the Bushido code. During the Second World War, many Japanese infantry were trapped on the island of Guam, surrounded by the Allied forces and low on supplies. 38 Despite being outnumbered and in horrific conditions, many soldiers refused to surrender. As indicated by Dixon and colleagues, “They continued to honor the Bushido code, believing that “to rush into the thick of battle and to be slain in it, is easy enough... but, it is true courage to live when it is right to live, and to die only when it is right to die.” 39 Synonymously, their work states that surrender was considered ‘courting death,’ akin to

cowardice and therefore in opposition of Bushido. 40 To circumvent this dishonorable behavior, they chose to wage guerilla warfare, using the island’s jungles and in caves. 41 This combat methodology transparently identifies the significance of Bushido in Japanese military strategy and behavior during World War II. Keep in mind surrender meant the family back home took the shame for it. In association with this military analysis, Karl F. Friday expands on interpretations of 20th century Bushido contributions to Japanese warfare. Whereas Ames indicated Confucian Bushido was readapted in recent centuries to breathe moral vibrancy into modern behavior, Friday details that pivotal historical events lead to the resurgence of war-like Bushido principles in the 1900s. He affirms, “Modern bushido is closely bound up with the notion of a Japanese "national essence," and with those of the kokutai, or Japanese national structure, and the cult of the emperor. It was a propaganda tool, consciously shaped and manipulated as part of the effort to forge a unified, modem nation out of a fundamentally feudal society, and to build a modem national military made up of conscripts from all tiers.” 42 Eliminating traditional limitations which made Bushido principles applicable to only the warrior class, Japanese politicians cultivated an integrated militaristic society. Friday also indicates that the Hakagure was popular among Japanese imperial officers, revealing how soldiers in the Japanese Empire developed militaristic perceptions on Bushido. 43 Willingness to sacrifice one’s self in the line of duty was an expectation if one was to serve their country, family and honor the way of the warrior spirit. 44

Bushido-inspired martial skills enabled society to remain interconnected; harnessing society’s reverence of ancestral practices for national strength. Patterson states: The martial arts were seen as a way not to maintain ancient martial techniques but instead to preserve a traditional value system, Bushido, that could be used to nurture national spirit. In the midst of modernization, the Japanese were struggling to hold onto some traditions that were uniquely Japanese and that could unify them as countrymen. Jigoro Kano, for example, argued that "because judo developed based on the martial arts of the past, if the martial arts practitioners of the past had things that are of value, those who practice judo should pass all those things on. Among these, the samurai spirit should be celebrated even in today's society" (Kano, 2005: 126). 48 In support, Patterson discusses how Bushido’s social influence on education altered Japan. In the late 20th century, conceptualizations of patriotism and loyalty became a paramount aspect of teachings in school curriculums. 49 Succinctly stated, “Devotion to the state and to the emperor were primary values in the ethical system transmitted by the Japanese public educational system.” 50 Through these methodologies, the Japanese Government was able to unify Japan’s separate provinces and social groups under a centralized system of loyalty. 51

Adaptations & Socio-Cultural Contributions Traditional schools of Bushido have evolved into a plethora of modern conceptualizations. Stark codes of conduct, which once determined a Samurai warrior’s behavior, have become less rigid and more expansive, applying to all social classes. A key example of this may be exhibited through the work of Jennifer Winter. In Neo-Bushido: Neomedieval Animé and Japanese Essence , she identifies how modern conceptualizations of traditional Bushido, known as ‘Neo-Bushido’, have become imbedded within Japanese media

and the entertainment industry. 52 Concepts of the medieval Samurai have been used to reimagine the warrior spirit of ancient Japan in the 21st century. Based on historical reality and fictions centered on Samurai which date back centuries; television, comics, animation, games and cinema have galvanized stories of Bushido-related heroism. 53 Winter emphasizes, “When Japanese artists adapt their own historical periods into anime, the chosen periods tend toward.. such as the early modern Tokugawa era (1603-1868)....” 54 In stories of fantasy, the heroic figure often portrayed by a Samurai adhering to the warrior code carries, “the burden of his life-long responsibility at the expense of his happiness.” 55 Winter further indicates how popular films like Akira Kurasawa's The Seven Samurai (1954), cultivated a new expression of the honorable and esoteric cultural practices from the Warring States in the Tokugawa period. 56 In correlation with Winter’s analysis, Mathew Foust identifies how ancient Japanese stories of the Samurai have resurfaced in modern Japanese culture. A famous historical event which has been portrayed in fictional novels and recently in cinema, is ‘The Forty-Seven Ronin’. 57 Foust’s mention of the Forty-Seven (‘Ronin’ denoting Samurai who are without a master), relates to readapted conceptualizations of honor and loyalty of a modernized Bushido Code. Foust discusses the historical events of the story in detail: .. group of samurai are bereft of their lord, Asano Takumi no Kami, who is compelled to perform hara kiri (ritual suicide) for assaulting - after considerable provocation - a court official, Kotsuke no Suke. The forty-seven samurai avenge their master’s honor by killing Kotsuke no Suke, but not before several months of waiting and planning and a

Dodd and Brown discuss the variance between the meaning behind Bujutsu and Budo. They suggest the latter martial art form’s translation binds it to Confucian and Buddhist concepts of Bushido: Respected karate ka Kousaku Yokota explains how Bujutsu could be considered the “art ‐ of fighting or killing” and encompasses a ‘win at all costs’ mentality required for battlefield survival (Yokota, 2010, p. 185). Conversely, Budo could be considered the “artof living or life” and enables a practitioner to live “honestly and righteously or at least with principles”. Expanding on both these points, Deshimaru (1982, p. 11; p. 46) reports that the ideogram for bu means to “the cease the struggle” and that “in Budo the point is... to find peace and mastery of the self”. 64

Todd and Brown indicate Budo to be a redevelopment of traditional Kamakura period martial arts principles; inferring that Budo defines the way of the warrior through roots in religious ethics and philosophy. Prevalence in Modern Medicine In transition from cultural associations between Bushido and martial arts, Doctors Nishigori, Harrison, Busari and Dornan advocate that Bushido’s virtues are prevalent in Japanese medical professionalism. The article , Bushido and Medical Professionalism in Japan , identifies the seven principal virtues of Bushido as described by Inazo Nitobe within Bushido: The Soul of Japan. 65 Nishigori and his colleagues suggest each virtue bears similar principles to the expectations of staff in medicine. Clear comparisons are further drawn between Bushido virtues and their physician charter that list commitments and expectations to which doctors are held: Comparisons of Bushido and the physician charter can provide fresh insights into the understanding of professionalism.... The charter calls for altruism from doctors, a concept that has a long tradition in Western thought The Japanese way of upholding the primacy of patient welfare is to practice a blend of rectitude, benevolence, and loyalty. Similarly, although the concept of social justice per se may not prevail in the 6465 Ibid, 36. Nishigori, Hiroshi, Rebecca Harrison, Jamiu Busari, and Tim Dornan. "Bushido and medical professionalism in Japan." Academic Medicine 89, no. 4: 560-563. 2014. PsycINFO, EBSCOhost (accessed August 30, 2018). 561.

Japanese health care system, the concepts of rectitude, honor, and loyalty together represent social justice. 66 Despite these similarities, the article does identify examples of variance between Bushido virtues and medical professionalism. Contemporary practices of displaying positive emotions with patients are alien to cultural behavior associated with traditional Bushido. 67 In past centuries, it was inappropriate for one to display signs of emotion, but to maintain self-control. This Bushido belief has been reformed to allow for displays of emotion. 68 However, the article conclusively reaffirms Bushido’s connection with medical practice, “its concepts are applicable to discussions of medical professionalism for those teaching and practicing in Japan.” 69 Socio-Cultural Communication Techniques In utilization of Bushido’s seven virtues, the Samurai code has been renewed to contribute towards development of communication skills between adult Japanese couples. Composed in 2012, the empirical document The Bushido Matrix for Couple Communication identifies a methodology which can be employed by counseling agents to guide adults in self- reflection and share emotions with their partner. This activity centers on the ‘Bushido Matrix Worksheet’ (BMW). 70 The authors accentuate, “practicing Bushido virtues can ultimately enhance intra- and interpersonal relationship, beginning with personal awareness and extending to couple awareness.” 71 When utilizing the matrix, a couple is asked to identify one of the seven virtues and apply it to their past and current perceptions surrounding its prevalence in their lives. 72 If individuals identify their relationship to be absent that specific virtue, they may now

Conclusions Bushido permeates Japanese society and culture, manifesting in various forms from military behavior and cinematic depictions to social welfare practices and corporate humility. Analysis of these varied socio-cultural aspects of Japan enhances modern understandings of history. Furthermore, Bushido-competency enables historians to better utilize information for future study; through bridging the gaps between Hakagure-influenced militarism and more beneficent Confucian and Buddhist ideals. Significantly, modern Japanese culture has (and may likely continue), to transform Bushido principles into numerous sources of empowerment needed within society. Created for the warrior class in service to rulers, Bushido exists to defend the citizens of Japan, that they might draw strength from the traditions and virtues of their ancestors. That is Bushido. The Way of The Samurai.
