In Japanese tradition, the Samurai is compared to the Sakura - the Japanese cherry. The cherry blossoms bloom suddenly, creating a cascade of white or pale pink flowers. Their beauty remains unblemished until the end, they do not wither, they do not dry out. One morning the petals fall, drawing a white pattern on the ground. Just as unexpectedly as they appeared, they leave, as if aware of their ephemeral beauty. Was it for this reason that Uchimura Kanzo (1861-1930), a Christian thinker and writer, compared the Samurai spirit to the scent of a mountain cherry blossom at dawn?

Agnieszka Kozyra in her book analyzes Uchimura Kanzo's Samurai Christianity, which he himself called Japanese Christianity. Uchimura was born into a Samurai family and was proud of his origins. His life's mission was to transfer the Samurai ethos to Christianity. This book is an invitation to reflect on the values that have shaped Japanese culture and spirituality.
