History of the Samurai

Samuraji su jedan od simbola Japana i japanskog društva. Oni su obilježili dio japanske povijesti, te se povremenopromoviraju kao jedan od temelja poznavanja i razumijevanja japanskog društva.. Iako su izvorno i primarno predstavljali ratnike na ovome prostoru, provodili su i mnoge druge političke, kulturne te društvene funkcije. O tome svjedoče obilježja njihova svakodnevnog života, koja se očituju kroz odnos prema religiji, ženama i obitelji te životnim događajima. Temelj samurajske povijesti i identiteta je bušido. Kodeks časti odražavao je temeljne moralne vrijednosti i načela ovih ratnika, a danas predstavlja koncepciju koja se povremeno tumači kao izvorni japanski identitet koji se i još uvijek predano štuje i kao takav čuva.Samurai are one of the main symbols of Japan and Japanese society.
