What reading level is Bushido, the Soul of Japan : An Exposition of Japanese Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At that moment the kaishaku, who, still crouching by his side, had been keenly watching his every movement, sprang to his feet, poised his sword for a second in the air; there was a flash, a heavy, ugly thud, a crashing fall; with one blow the head had been severed from the body.
" A dead silence followed, broken only by the hideous noise of the blood throbbing out of the inert heap before us, which but a moment before had been a brave and chivalrous man. It was horrible.
" The kaishaku made a ...low bow, wiped his sword with a piece of paper which he had ready for the purpose, and retired from the raised floor; and the stained dirk was solemnly borne away, a bloody proof of the execution.
" The two representatives of the Mikado then left their places, and crossing over to where the foreign witnesses sat, called to us to witness that the sen- tence of death upon Taki Zenzaburo had been faithfully carried out. The ceremony being at an end, we left the temple." I might mtiltiply any number of descrip- tions of seppuku from literature or from the relations of eye-witnesses; but one more instance will suffice.
