Bushido, or “the way of the warrior”, is a code of conduct that guides samurai philosophy, in thought, action, and way of life.

The philosophy has evolved over time, however the principles are still used today to help guide people’s daily lives and provide a focus and direction regarding how we should view ourselves, the world around us and our place within it.

Bushido places an emphasis on sincerity, frugality, loyalty, patience, and honour. It was a code of ethics that balanced the violent and war-like existence of the martial samurai. The Way addresses the question of morality, role in society, and how live a life of virtue and honour while avoiding behaviours that are destructive to the self and the spirit.
