Detailed explanation-1: -The Samurai were part of a warrior class in Japan that emerged around the 10th century C.E. and were around until the 19th century. Samurai lived by a strict code of honor and morals related to their behavior in their daily lives and battle. This unwritten code of honor is known as The Bushido.
Detailed explanation-2: -The word samurai comes from the Japanese word for “to serve.” Every samurai, from the weakest soldier to the most powerful warrior, was supposed to serve his lord. Because all lords in Japan were supposed to serve the emperor, all samurai were required to be loyal to him.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is Bushido? Bushido is a code of conduct that emerged in Japan from the Samurai, or Japanese warriors, who spread their ideals throughout society. They drew inspiration from Confucianism, which is a relatively conservative philosophy and system of beliefs that places a great deal of importance on loyalty and duty.
