Inazo Nitobe was a Japanese agricultural economist, author, educator, diplomat, politician, and Christian during the pre-World War II period.
He was a prolific writer, who published many scholarly books as well as books for general readers. He also contributed hundreds of articles to popular magazines and newspapers. Nitobe, however, is perhaps most famous in the west for his work Bushido: The Soul of Japan (1900), which was one of the first major works on samurai ethics and Japanese culture written originally in English for Western readers.
