“Samuraji” (侍) is the Japanese term for “samurai,” referring to the military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan. Samurai were known for their adherence to the code of bushido, which emphasized virtues such as loyalty, honor, and discipline. They were skilled warriors who served the daimyo (feudal lords) and played a crucial role in the political and social structure of Japan. The samurai’s martial skills were complemented by a strong cultural education, including poetry, calligraphy, and Zen Buddhism. Over time, the role of samurai evolved, particularly during the peaceful Edo period (1603-1868), leading to their transformation into bureaucrats and administrators. The term “samuraji” encapsulates the ideals of loyalty, honor, and the warrior spirit that characterize this historic class.
