Bushido and Christianity

By Takemi Sasamori and Rev Takemi Sasamori

Is Christianity compatible with the martial arts and the samurai code of Bushido?

The Reverend Takemi Sasamori, Methodist minister and founding pastor of the Komaba Eden Church in Tokyo, Japan, and inheritor of three ancient martial arts traditions, unequivocally answers: "Yes "

In Bushido and Christianity, the Rev. Sasamori weaves together elements of Japanese history, lessons from the Bible, and his own personal experiences growing up in a samurai family to trace where Bushido, the martial arts, and Christianity intersect and shows how following these 'Ways' can lead to a more fulfilling life.

The Rev. Sasmori served for over forty years as a pastor and spent over seventy years training in traditional Japanese martial arts. He was regularly featured in the media in Japan and was a sought-after lecturer on the connection between Bushido and Christianity worldwide. His life's mission was to bridge the cultural divide between East and West.
