Frequently asked
What does the word samurai mean and when did samurai live?
Samurai means 'one who serves' in Japanese. These warriors dominated feudal Japan from around the 1100s until the late 1800s. They served feudal lords called daimyo and were bound by bushido, a strict code emphasizing loyalty, honor, discipline, and martial skill that defined their entire way of life.
What was bushido and why was it so important to samurai?
Bushido was the samurai code of honor governing behavior, combat, and loyalty. It emphasized virtues like courage, respect, honesty, and self-discipline. Samurai believed following bushido made them superior warriors and worthy servants. Breaking the code brought shame, sometimes leading warriors to commit ritual suicide called seppuku.
What weapons did samurai use in battle?
Samurai were masters of multiple weapons. The katana, a curved sword, was their most iconic weapon and symbol of status. They also used the wakizashi (shorter sword), bows and arrows (especially in early periods), spears, and later firearms. Samurai trained extensively in hand-to-hand combat and various martial techniques throughout their lives.
