Bushido: The Way of the Warrior

The word samurai (侍, samurai) has been used to describe a variety of warriors of ancient Japan, although its true meaning is that of a military elite that ruled the country for hundreds of years.

Its origin dates from the tenth century and was strengthened at the end of Genpei Wars in the late twelfth century, when military rule was instituted under the guise of the Shogun, by which the Emperor of Japan fell to a mere shadow spectator of the political situation.

His crowning moment came during the Sengoku period, a time of great instability and ongoing power struggle between different clans existing at this stage in the history of Japan is referred to as "period of warring states." The country's military leadership would continue at the hands of this elite institution to the Tokugawa shogunate in the seventeenth century by a powerful landowner samurai (called daimyo) called Tokugawa Ieyasu, who, paradoxically, becoming the highest authority to be appointed as Shogun, fought to reduce the privileges and status of the warrior class, a process that eventually culminated in their disappearance when the emperor returned to his role as ruler during the Meiji Restoration in the nineteenth century.

Bushido is translated literally as "The Way of the Warrior" and was developed in Japan between the Heian and Tokugawa eras (IX-XII). Was a way of life and the samurai code.
