Skripsi ini membahas kode etik bushidō direpresentasikan oleh tokoh Toyotomi Hideyoshi di dalam novel Shinsho Taikōki. Dengan menggunakan kode bushidō seperti yang dideskripsikan oleh Nitobe Inazo di dalam bukunya "Bushido: The Soul of Japan", penulis mengkaji novel Shinsho Taikōki karya Yoshikawa Eiji dengan pendekatan intrinsik, yakni analisis tokoh. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa Hideyoshi memiliki setiap nilai bushidō di dalam dirinya sehingga mencerminkan samurai ideal menurut Nitobe. Samurai ideal menurut Nitobe adalah samurai yang memiliki nilai kebenaran, keberanian, kebaikan hati, kesopanan, kesungguhan hati, kesetiaan serta menjunjung tinggi kehormatan dirinya.
