Samurais

Samurais were elite Japanese warriors who served noble families from the 12th to 19th centuries. They followed a strict code called Bushido, emphasizing loyalty, honor, and discipline. Trained in martial arts and skilled with swords like the katana, they played a key role in Japan's military and social structure. Beyond fighters, they also managed administrative duties and upheld cultural values. Over time, societal changes led to their decline, but samurais remain a symbol of Japanese tradition, honor, and martial skill.
