It's 1940 and Japan has not entered the War yet, but for a decade, it has been slowly occupying and colonizing all of Asia, including China. The father is a Japanese national, an architect and engineer by trade, operating a construction company, building houses for Japan's colonization efforts in Manchuria. His family name Nabeshima, hails from a long line of samurai lineage from Saga Prefecture, in Kyushu, japan. Japan enters the war, is defeated and the family, sans the father who was killed serving the Imperial army on the Russian front, in the war is re-patriated back to Japan. The mother remarries an American soldier, Sargent Robert Melver and the family relocates to Texas. Nabeshima Norio, aka Bill Melver describes his life as an American Samurai, raised in a value system, steeped in the traditions of the samurai code and how those values are sorely needed in the America we find ourselves in today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave Lowry juxtaposes his singular experience as an adept student of kenjutsu (the art of swordsmanship) under a Japanese teacher in St. Louis with a riveting account of the samurai tradition in Japan. Intertwining tales of the masters with reflections on his own apprenticeship in the samurai's arts, he reveals in their time-honored methods a way of life with profound relevance to modern times. The result is a fascinating, singular autobiography. Lowry captures the sense of wonder and mystery that makes martial arts compelling to so many practitioners. Even those who do not practice martial arts will delight in this unusual coming-of-age story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational philosophies of self-cultivation as the cultural foundation and philosophical ethos for education have strong and historically effective traditions stretching back to antiquity in the classical ‘cradle’ civilizations of China and East Asia, India and Pakistan, Greece and Anatolia, focused on the cultural traditions in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism in the East and Hellenistic philosophy in the West. This volume in East-West dialogues in philosophy of education examines both Confucian and Western classical traditions revealing that although each provides its own distinct figure of the virtuous person, they are remarkably similar in their conception and emphasis on moral self-cultivation as a practical answer to how humans become virtuous. The collection also examines self-cultivation in Japanese traditions and also the nature of Michel Foucault’s work in relation to ethical and aesthetic ideals of Hellenistic self-cultivation.
