	Description:		Bro History Myth of the Samurai On today’s episode we discuss how the “way of the samurai” or bushido, fueled the creation of the imperial Japanese nation state. Bushido is supposedly the value system that governed the behavior of Samurai in feudal Japan. It encouraged them to be loyal, courageous , polite, etc. What’s interesting is that the term “bushido” wasn’t really a thing prior to the 1800s. It was an invented concept used to inspire national identity. Come join us to learn more about how “thinkers” use symbols from the past as a tool to create nationalism.
