The Samurai, fearsome warriors whose traditions of honor and discipline live on in the study of jujitsu and kendo today, were members of a powerful military caste principally rising to power in 12th century Japan. The traditional samurai code of honor, discipline and morality known as Bushido (the way of the warrior) was revived and made the basic code of conduct for much of later Japanese society. This is an excellent documentary on the history of Japan from its inception to present day, and includes the complete history of the Samurai, how they came to be as a class of power, a study of their actual responsibilities and principles and more! 45 min.
