Space Japan Book Review #1 (in English)
Inazo Nitobe: gBushido, The Soul of Japan", 1899, Merchant Books, 2009.
Dr. Takashi Iida, Editorial Advisor of Space Japan Review
A book, Inazo Nitobe: gBushido, The Soul of Japan" is picked up as a topic different from the past one this time. Recently, the violence against the weak people such as bullying is getting worse more and more in Japan. The basic spirit of Bushido is to want to leave the name as a fellow who never bullied a little boy or turned his back on a big one. Since we are engaged in space development and act on the basis of engineering knowledge, we act according to logical consideration. However, it is sometimes necessary to take action criteria as human beings, form of spirit as a criterion, and morality. As a form of spirit of nurturing such emotions, it seems to be meaningful for Japanese to recognize having Bushido since ancient times.

I picked up the following books as the second part of a different topic this time as well. "It may be an apple", "How to make my fake", "There is a reason", "What shall we do after this" written by Yoshitake Shinsuke (in Japanese). Although the stories of these books are interesting, many detailed pictures are drawn, and pictures related to satellite communication technology such as parabola antenna and astronauts are drawn and can be enjoyed.
