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.
