"Today the term yamato damashii (spirit of Japan) refers to the principles, primarily duty, discipline, self-sacrifice and excellence taught to young Japanese men in walks of life from sports to business, politics to publishing. Samurai from history and fiction are often portrayed as the embodiments of these principles, and the figure of the samurai remains one of Japan's most pervasive archetypes." Owen Thomas |
