Overview
For many centuries samurai warriors had an absolute monopoly on the bearing of arms in Japan, and epitomized the ideas of patriotism and devotion to military. They were a separate class in society, and followed a strict code of ethics and conduct that would enable a samurai to transcend the fear of death and give him the peace and power to serve his master faithfully and loyally, and to die well if necessary. They were highly trained in the art of unarmed combat and in the use of the bow and arrow, and especially the sword, which for them had a spiritual significance. Describes their etiquette, their armor and weapons, and their tactics; Japan's ruling imperial system; and the act of ritual suicide. Paintings and photos.
