    1. WHAT IS A SAMURAI?
    They were members of the military class in the caste system of general feudal Japan mind
    this name was, to designate a wide variety of warriors being the military elite who ruled
    the country for hundreds of years.
    Known as brave warriors, who lived their most splendour in the SENGOKU period or
    known as "Periods of States of War" (one thousand four hundred and sixty-seven to one
    thousand five hundred and sixty-eight) being a time of instability and numerous armed
    conflicts.
    samurai warriors had values such as:
    • Faithful
    • Noble
    • Loyal
    • Powerful
    • Strong
    • Great respect for your weapons
    2. SAMURÁI FEATURES
     The samurai were governed by the bushid's code of ethics (the warrior's path
    or path), which was based on absolute respect for teachers, self-discipline,
    ethical behavior, and self-esteem. Its philosophical roots occupy aspects of
    Buddhism, confusionism or Zen.

     Mastered martial arts, fencing, horseback riding and the use of weapons such
    as katana, a type of curved sword, with a single edge and a length of 60 to 65
    centimeters. They used to use it on the left flank and it was one of their biggest
    symbols. They believed that his soul resided in his sword, for which they
    professed great respect. Other battle tools were the wooden bore or saber, the
    tessen or war fan and the daikyu or bow.

     The samurai were entitled to belong to the military class only by inheritance of
    blood, it was an honor inherited from parents to children.
    3. THE FUNCTIONS OF SAMURAI WARRIORS IN ANCIENT JAPAN
    During the Heian period (seven hundred and ninety-one hundred and eighty-five) the samurai
    were hired to protect the powerful lieutenants or feudal lords (known as daimyo) who had
    become independent of the central state. Some samurai, however, work independently
    without serving any daimyo. They were known as ronin.
    The relationship between the two was very simple: the feudal lords granted land and wealth
    to the samurai in exchange for their military services. Thus the caste of warriors was gaining
    increasing relevance and power. Their bond was close and the samurai served them loyally
    until the end of their days.
    During the end of the ninth and early tenth century, various revolts were served in Japan due
    to periods of famine and plagues, which collapsed the country's order and economy. The
    government was forced to request the help of the feudal lords to provide military troops
    facing the rebellions. In this way his military character was increasing.
    4. TO STAND OUT

    still has an impact on many people the figure of these legendary warriors has not forgotten,
    neither their gestations nor their names. all have been left in history forever. heroes on paper,
    in the great battle thousands of real and fictional stories starring samurai which we have
