Lesson from Naomi Osaka — Bushido
The nationality is somewhat given, but the identity and discipline should be educated among family

This week is on Liberal Arts class.
Yesterday, I may not be alone to feel a real Bushido (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido) in Naomi Osaka’s whole gestures at the Australian Open Tennis.
Her play was nearly perfect through the tournaments. Once facing a difficulty, she never lost temper and demonstrated a great adjustment after these challenges. But the most astonishing part is her manners.
After every match, she brought empty water bottles to the trash by herself, and always respect the other, her team, and the audience first. A butterfly flow to her during the match, but she stopped to play and put that butterfly carefully on the side court.
Bushido seems a kind of gesture of Samurai, but the real Bushido is the way of life, which is similar to chivalry or noble habitus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chivalry) and Japanese identity came most of the parts from Bushido. This makes a comfortable social safety of current Japan, I believe.
