Abstract

The honest and lady-first moral code of the European gentleman has its origins in "chivalry".
How could those who were placed in the harsh situation of having to fight to survive have such a noble mentality!
What was different and what was the same with the Japanese samurai?
With abundant illustrations and easy-to-understand text, this book unravels "chivalry," the spiritual pillar of European gentlemen.
