Post on Samurai Warriors 1/27/14


My topic is on the responsibilities of the samurai warriors. No. Not the killing Japanese people who get to do what ever they want. The Samurai had many responsibilities that were hard to keep up with. It is kind of a process like "survival of the fittest." The specific responsibilities are mentioned in the Bushido, which is a list of the Samurai responsibilities.

The responsibilities of the samurai were far more complex and extensive than one might think. The Samurai were very valuable for Japanese society, because of all the required responsibilities. When people think of a Samurai warrior they often picture a threatening, murdering Japanese soldier doing whatever they want. However, Samurai warriors had to follow a strict code of conduct, and with the privileges they had as Samurai warriors came much responsibility. The Bushido is the code of conduct, which goes into depth. The specific responsibilities are each described and mentioned through the text, where people can study and research at easy access.

  1. Wow, great topic Ellie. Will you be focusing on the Warring States period, the Edo Period, or maybe a throwback to the Genpai War and the early Muromachi Period?
