樱花与武士精神

有意思。
鲁思・本尼迪克特写了“菊与刀”。
新渡戸稲造写了“武士道”。

(part from BUSHIDO)
“We cannot share the admiration of the Europeans for their
roses. which lack the simplicity of our flower. Then, too, the thorns
that are hidden beneath the sweetness of the rose, the tenacity with which
she clings to life, as though loth or afraid to die rather than drop untimely,
preferring to rot on her stem ;her showy colours and heavy odours-- all these
are traits so unlike our flower…………….”

”Is , then, this flower, so sweet and evanescent, blown whithersoever the wind
listeth, and, shedding a puff of perfume, ready to vanish forever, is this flower
the type of the Yamato spirit ? Is the soul of Japan so frailly mortal ?”

恩 我也有写这个论文的打算
