Bushido and Sakura ( Cherry blossoms )
Bushido is Sakura which our land’s indigenous and symbolizes Japan.
Sakura never wilt. Before the wilt, Sakura fall beautifully with Wind and Rain.
In another way, this moment in life is the most precious and important.
That is the essence of Samurai.
“Then, Bushido is ephemeral like Sakura which fall with Wind and Rain?”
My answer is negative. Sakura bloom again. That is, Bushido is immortality.

The duty of Loyalty
The duty of loyalty is to follow the lord eternally to the ends of the world even coming down.
It is never be under lord’s thumb. If the lord’s idea is wrong, the follower will give his opinion.
Bushido is to do the right thing. And, I can say that the duty of loyalty is Agape.
There is no captive in Bushido
For Bushido, to be taken captive is dishonorable. The captives are insulted and raped by the enemies.
Samurais, both men and women combat. If the battle was defeated, Samurais commit suicide.
Men die by Harakiri. Women stab the throats. The point is whether you can carry out the suicide Harakiri,
Surgical operation without anesthesia by yourselves. Me? I 'm not sure whether I can stab my throat.
However, to be killed is dishonorable. Before the captive, I would choose the death.
Send Salt to your Enemy
is the supreme virtue in Bushido. Human can’t live without salt. If the lord of seaside land
wants to defeat the lord of mountainous land, the tactics will be easy. Just cut salt.
In 16th century, the civil war era, there was a great lord who sent salt to his enemy who
was fighting for fourteen years. “ I do not fight with salt, but with the sword”
〜 You are to be proud of your enemy; then the success of your enemy is your success also.
By Nietzsche 〜Conclude modifying that Enemy means Rival in Bushido.
Sword is Soul
Whose soul is it? I have three views.
Samurai always put on the sword, laid his side at night and cared for. Sword is Samurai’s soul.
Sword smith performed his ablutions and made Sword.
Sword smith’s soul which devoted all his energy put into it.
There was a strict rule that once Samurai drew his sword, fight and kill the opponent without fail.
My 5th former family head was wearing the swords have white grips with the cut bamboo crest.
Soon after Samurai era came to the end, he kept the swords to a temple.
This might be a superstition. The person’s soul who was killed by the sword put into it.
However, our swords are missing. Please let me know if you found out our soul somewhere.
The sword is made from iron sand.
My mother’s line is Sword smith.

Law
During Edo Period (1603〜1868) in Japan, there was the law that Samurai,the ruling class
can cut to kill commoner on the spot when the commoner is rude to the samurai. The samurai judges
what the rudeness is. In Edo period, I cut to kill a rude commoner and the whole world blames me.
I say “ I cut to kill this commoner under the law of my country. It’s none of your business”
The current Saudi Arabia’s criminal law is almost the same as Edo period’s.
Regarding the journalist, the crown prince would say the same thing as mine.
"Risk your life and advice your boss directly" is Bushido.
The best thing is to advice not to criticize that the law is a little old.
Bushido is to do Right things.
To adhere making money is dishonorable and dirty
is Bushido. Let me explain this. Do you think how enormous money is able to obtain ?
War. Drug peddling. Fraud・・・・. These are bad things.
Bushido is to do right things. Let’s make enormous money by the right.
One day, a man got a straw and helped people from the straw.
Soon, he became a millionaire.
This isn’t just a tale.To do right things can be rich both mind and goods.
The things must not do must not do
Is Bushido. A way stops the act of terrorism is to root out the source of funds.
But, Rich people belong to ISIS in Sri Lanka matter. Before,
I watched an exchange of views between an Euro citizen and a terrorist.
“Whatever the reason is, terrorism isn’t forgiven”
“You, Western countries kill our women and children”
The terrorist is right. A true that Western countries killed
the innocent citizens by the bombings. Don’t motivate the terrorists.
A cause people join in terrorist organizations is the discontents to society.
However,everyone is more or less discontented and to be realized such
ideal society takes long time. Terrorism is the thing must not do.
The divided line
It is honor if money and gifts came from love.
However serious the situation is, turn down if they were from sympathy and stratagem.
