The continued transfer of Japanese security culture: from ancient to Modern Bushidō

Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 11

Abstract

This paper examines the unique and long-standing tradition of Japanese security culture based upon the foundation of Japan’s samurai culture and its Bushido code of honor, focusing on its ethical aspects. It also raises the issue of the usefulness and availability of FarEastern, particularly Japanese, martial arts traditions in the context of security culture. In the trichotomous categorization of ‘pillars of security culture’, with said pillars being mental and spiritual (the first), organizational and legal (the second) and material pillar; FarEastern heritage can prove especially advantageous for the first pillar.<br/><br/>
