Hi
I have lately read "Death, Honor and Loyalty: the Bushido Ideal" by G. Cameron Hurst and "Bushido or Bull?" by Karl F. Friday. Both are IMO well written and thought provoking but I still have some questions and incertitudes:
1: Is the concept of Bushido as a uniform warrior code during Edo and earlier periods wholly mistaken?
2: If so, did there exist a general notion of a "warrior code" whose exact definition and concept varied (something like Shido )?
I know there are some very knowledgeable people on this board and I am looking forward to read their opinions.
Sorry for bad English.
