What is Bunbu Ryodo? Interpreting Eastern and Western Bards through Language and Literature: Sword and Poetry
This study explores the essence of Bunbu Ryodo (the dual path of literary and martial arts) through the lens of Eastern and Western bards.
By comparing bards who embody both sword and poetry, this research reveals the universal ideal of mastering both pen and sword, and examines its philosophical background from a philological perspective.
