Budō shoshinshū (Genpon gendaiyaku)

I wonder what motivated the author to bring this classic code of conduct to contemporary readers. Was it a desire to preserve tradition or make it more accessible?

The focus on self-control and honor is intense, but I wondered if it might also come across as strict or outdated to some readers. What are others' thoughts?

It's fascinating to see how ancient samurai values might still influence or clash with today's concepts of integrity and responsibility.
