Samurai

Everyone knows Samurai is a special part of
Japanese culture.I found this website:
http://people.howstuffworks.com/samurai.htm/printable
talks about it.
The warriors having swords didn't mean a
Samurai.First,he should be well-trained to
have high skill.Second,the samurai serves
his daimyo, or master, with absolute loyalty,
even to the death. In fact, the word samurai
means, "those who serve."Third,the samurai
is a member of an elite class, considered
superior to common citizens and ordinary
foot soldiers.At last,the samurai's life is ruled
by Bushido, a strict warrior code emphasizing
honor.
