Samurai

What is Samurai?

The term "Samurai" refers to the military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan. The samurai were known for their strict code of conduct, known as Bushido, which emphasized virtues such as loyalty, honor, and discipline. They were skilled warriors, often proficient in martial arts, swordsmanship, archery, and horseback riding. The samurai played a significant role in Japanese history, particularly during the feudal period, and their influence can still be seen in Japanese culture today.
